[sage-edu] sage-moodle integration
Hello! This is my first message to group. So let me introduce myself. My name is Herli Menezes and I'm a Physics teacher at a big University in Brazil, and begin to use Moodle as a Distance Learning. It would be nice is we could integrate Moodle with Sage, in order to be able to teach physics and math interactively. I have never used SAGE, my only experience with mathematical and algebraic computational software is with MAPLE. I would like to use and integrate SAGE with another open source software like MOODLE.

Hi Herli. There are people working on this, but off the top of my head I am not sure if they are members of this list or not. If no one replies within several days, I'll dig up emails and try to get your question to the right people or else send you their addresses. You might also search sage-edu and sage-support archives for "moodle". On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 9:11 AM, herlimenezes wrote: > > Hello! > This is my first message to group.

Overall we would very much welcome an integration with MOODLE, but so far no one has actually submitted a patch to do so. Maybe you can describe what needs to be done in that direction or point us to some links/documentation from the end of MOODLE in case you are familiar with it.

[sage-edu] Vector Calculus, Interact Demos
I took some time the past couple of days to learn the interact setup, and built a couple of demos for Monday's session of multivariable calculus. They are posted in the wiki at the end of the section at http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/calculus The 2D example plots an ellipse and allows display of vectors such as velocity, acceleration, unit tangent, unit normal, tangential and normal components of acceleration. Scalar speed and curvature are also displayed. Editing the definition of the position function should allow everything to work correctly, though you need to mess with figsize to get an aspect ratio of 1 (so orthogonal vectors really look orthogonal). Also re-discovered bug #4465 where zero-length arrows don't fail gracefully. The 3D example is similar but includes the binormal vector and uses an exponentially-growing helix. I setup computing torsion but it seems to take an inordinate amount of time, so it is commented-out. I'd imagine I could be more efficient about how functions are defined, or the methods I used. For students, I tried to stick to the definitions rather than less-intuitive shortcuts. This was all very easy to learn and make happen. Kudos to the folks who built the interact framework, the 2D and 3D plotting, and the differentiation and vector routines. It'll make Monday's class that much nicer. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.

Thanks! I created worksheets from them and posted them to http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/worksheets/beezer/ On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 7:04 PM, Rob Beezer wrote: > > I took some time the past couple of days to learn the interact setup, > and built a couple of demos for Monday's session of multivariable > calculus.
