| Title of Talk | Advanced Calculus using Mathematica |
| Abstract | Advanced Calculus using Mathematica is a complete text on calculus of several variables written in Mathematica NoteBooks. The eText has large movable figures and interactive programs to illustrate things like “zooming in” to see “local linearity.” In addition to lots of traditional style exercises, the eText also has sections on computing with Mathematica. We will discuss some of the novel features of the text including the explicit, implicit, parametric organization and topics often omitted from "regular" texts (like "vector potentials.") We use the text in a second semester multivariable calculus course and a more advanced course. |
