>> I think this counts as a "success story". I've used Sage in two classes now: Honors Calc I, and MAT 305, a class our department calls "Mathematical Computing", where we basically teach majors who have completed the Calculus sequence some programming. In the past we used Maple. The class was originally designed under three NSF grants, and uses the Springer-Verlag textbook, "Mathematical Computing" by Betounes and Redfern, the professors who designed the course. <<
Wow, this sounds great! I'm trying to get a "Calculus Lab" started up at my school that sounds like your "Honor Calculus" and I'm trying to get rid of BASIC and replace it with python in our intro to programming class, "Computer Math," that sounds like your "Mathematical Computing." Thanx for the reference of the texts you use. I'm wondering if you have any other suggestions for materials I could use in these courses. Do you have a website detailing these courses perhaps?
