This shows how Newton's method (also known as Newton-Raphson) is used to find a root of a function. You can show/hide various parts of the construction, and edit the particular function being considered.

This Open Educational Resources site will complement textbooks and lectures with obvious information gaps. An extension of regular learning content. For example, you can accompany the text with multimedia materials such as videos. By presenting information in multiple formats, students can more easily learn the material being taught.

Students will create their own sine function to match a picture of mountains. This will teach them what the coefficents of trig functions do.

This course has been designed to help students focus learning on specific areas of improvement. Unlike a typical college course where you would complete lessons in chronological order, this course allows you to focus on specific skills. Modules include: Arithmetic Review, Percents, Geometric Figures, Measurement, and Statistics

Simply shows multiplication of a vector by a scalar. Adjust he slider to adjust the multiple. Drag the point at the end of vector v to change the original vector.

In this undergraduate level seminar series, topics vary from year to year. Students present and discuss the subject matter, and are provided with instruction and practice in written and oral communication. Some experience with proofs required. The topic for fall 2008: Computational algebra and algebraic geometry.

In this course, students take turns in giving lectures. For the most part, the lectures are based on Robert Osserman's classic book A Survey of Minimal Surfaces, Dover Phoenix Editions. New York: Dover Publications, May 1, 2002. ISBN: 0486495140.

This course is a seminar in topology. The main mathematical goal is to learn about the fundamental group, homology and cohomology. The main non-mathematical goal is to obtain experience giving math talks.

This project will explore the idea of election fairness through the concept of Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is a means of unfairly drawing district boundaries that favor one party over another.There are legal concepts and mathematical concepts that can be considered in determining the fairness of district boundaries.Objective: Students will:Explore shapes that create fair voting districts.Calculate compactness as a measure for voting fairness.Discuss the implications of using compactness to measure voting fairness.

This 10-minute video lesson shows that three points uniquely define a circle and that the center of a circle is the circumcenter for any triangle that the circle is circumscribed about.

This is a solver for problems involving the time value of money (TVM). It emulates the TVM solver on the TI-83+ and TI-84 graphing calculators. Updated 6 November 2011 to work correctly when I% = 0.

This is a PowerPoint for Adult Basic Education student usage in preparation for the 2014 Series of the GED Reasoning with mathematics test.  Dealing with the basics of volume and surface area measurement, the PowerPoint may be used by students in an independent computer lab setting or it could be used as a whole class presentation.  It is meant to be a stand alone assignment.

Addition of three Vectors, and displays resultant Vectors. Can drag the endPoints of the three different Vectors, but the resultant always starts at the origin.

My pre-Calculus students were having trouble visualizing what it meant for a geometric series to converge. They understood the formula aspect and how to calculate the value of a convergent sum, and saw what it meant for numbers adding successively, but I

Estimate volume of cylindrical tank.  Designed for an entry level applied mathematics course for applied sciences and CTE programs.
