Teaching Calculus with Maple: A Complete Kit




Everything you need to teach Calculus 1 and Calculus 2!

Teaching Calculus with Maple includes Maple-based lecture notes, student worksheets, and demonstrations, homework that can be graded automatically through Möbius Assessment from DigitalEd, and more.


Highlights:

  • Engage your students with highly interactive lectures
  • Reinforce concepts with “what-if” explorations built right into the class notes
  • Consolidate learning with carefully constructed homework questions that include hints and feedback for the students, all algorithmically-generated and graded by Möbius Assessment, from the Maplesoft spin-off company DigitalEd.
  • Easily modify lecture notes to customize the material to your specific needs and preferences

About this Content

These complete courses are the result of a 5-year research project at the University of Guelph to study the effective use of technology in mathematics education. Jack Weiner, the lead researcher, has over 30 years experience teaching mathematics and is the recipient of multiple teaching awards. These materials have been successfully used by multiple instructors, with class sizes ranging from 15 to 600 students.
