So if that is the situation, then I think an introduction to Sage
would be a great talk for this audience.

I think you might as well ask. You can point out that the MAA is
funding summer workshops on both Sage and Geogebra this summer. In
fact, if you know your way ar
I won't be going, but my department chair will be.
It would be great for her to hear about the issues of closed vs. open source
from someone knowledgeable. She's tired of hearing from me. : )

Maybe I gave the wrong impression: the crack about the Tarot reading
was merely a joke. ETS goes to incredible efforts to make sure the

The annual AP Calculus exam. ETS brings in hundreds of Calculus
teachers from high school & college to a city (Kansas City MO this
year) to grade the "essay response" portion. They call that a

Hi all
I'm going to the AP Calc reading in June. I had wondered if that might
