Hi: I posted a draft of a hopefully motivating and low-level paper at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/calc1-sage/an-invitation-to-sage.pdf It is designed to fit into a book on calculus with Sage, as a introductory chapter. I assume the reader is assumed to know little or no calculus but does have an interest in computers. Basically, if you have a "calculus with computers" course at your school, the student in that course is what I'm trying to think of. It needs to be fleshed out in spots but I thought I'd ask for suggestions before going further in case it seems like a bad direction to some people.
Any suggestions? I would like to add a quote on how open source programs often are higher in quality (latex is an example), one that goes beyond the Okounkov quote, but I can't remember where I saw one. Does something like that ring a bell with anyone? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
