[sage-edu] How do your students "Turn in" Sage assignments?

Dear Sage-edu Members, I occasionally give my high-school students assignments in Sage, but have not found an effective way to track whether they're doing the work. Please share your thoughts. My assignments complement the work in their textbooks. I publish a worksheet that the students edit.

[sage-edu] Re: How do your students "Turn in" Sage assignments?

Michael, I can't speak for the Shodor people, but they set up this server just for such purposes and are delighted that I'm using it. To be courteous in my usage, I had my students create their usernames as "lsmsa_[name]_2011," so Shodor knows which accounts are from my school and from which year

David, I guess I haven't thought that through yet. My training is in standard number crunching. Brad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group. To post to this group, send email to sage-edu@googlegroups.com. To unsubscribe from this group,

[sage-edu] No Sage Output using Sage online

I'm having a new and serious problem using Sage online. When I click "evaluate," it pauses for a second and I get the green bar, but then no output. Really basic stuff like 2+3, but also plot( x, (0,1)). No output. I'm having the same trouble at the shodor server and at sagenb.org, with IE9, Fi

[sage-edu] Re: No Sage Output using Sage online

Jason, I just retried. I got sagenb.org to work. Still having trouble with Shodor, where my students have accounts, but I've emailed them. Thanks, Brad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group. To post to this group, send email to sage-ed

[sage-edu] Sage for Android

I bought my first Android tablet (Samsung GT-P5113) yesterday, and can't get Sage for Android to work. Anybody worked with this? It has great potential, and I was hoping next week in Seattle to swap ideas on how to use it. I open the "Example" worksheet, 1+1, I click "Run," which I assume is equ

Jason, Yes, aleph.sagemath.org works fine. Thanks for the recommendation. Brad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group. To post to this group, send email to sage-edu@googlegroups.com. To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-edu

The interesting Pyromaths page you might want to check out is the http://www.pyromaths.org/faq/pyromaths-cest-quoi-cest-qui page that lists people involved. The trick to navigating the French is to Google that site, and use the "Translate this Page" link. Brad -- You received this message bec

[sage-edu] Limiting Range on plot()

I'm using Sage in my Calc I course. To get students comfortable with it, I'm starting with aleph.sagemath.org, the single-cell server. I want the students to start by using Sage to graph. Here's a sample question from their text: "Graph y = sin x and y = csc x together for -pi <= x <= 2*pi. Co

[sage-edu] Re: Limiting Range on plot()

Karl-Dieter, Now that I know to look for "ymax," I see it in the documentation, but I might suggest that it be one of the listed "PLOT OPTIONS," along with "xmax" and "xmin." Also, if plot ( x^2, (x,1,2) ) works to limit the domain, should plot ( x^2, (y,1,2) ) work to limit the ra

[sage-edu] Re: Limiting Range on plot()

To reply to Jason's post about whether "xmax", "xmin," "ymax," and "ymin" are too limiting, rather than "x" or "y," what about "domain" and "range," or "horizontal" and "vertical"? To reply to Karl-Dieter's question about what I would like to see in the documentation, it would help if "ymin" an

[sage-edu] Re: Limiting Range on plot()

Karl-Dieter, Yes, exactly in http://sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot.html#sage.plot.plot.plot because when I Google sagemath plot I naturally choose the hit for "reference" over "tour," which is

[sage-edu] aleph.sagemath.org on a Mac: Websocket closed.

One of my students can't get aleph.sagemath.org to work on her Mac. Here's an email she sent me. I have seen her do it myself. This text showed up in the center of the Chrome window. The text I keep getting when I try to use sage on Chrome or Rockmelt. Firefox won't load the website at all. "W

Re: [sage-edu] Re: Creating Random Student Worksheets using LaTeX and Sage

I used to do this, make a hundred "different" but "similar" worksheets for my College Algebra students. I used C++ to generate the exercises, then have C++ write a .tex file, then compile. I can help more with the questions of "why" and "what makes a good set of exercises," although I can al

[sage-edu] Re: Three European High Schools awarded to run a project in Sage and a new possible project in Sage.

Congratulations! I have found some success using Sage in my high school, especially the Aleph server (aleph.sagemath.org). The main roadblock has been that students are afraid of using computers for anything besides social interaction and entertainment. I am interested in how these schools w

[sage-edu] Sage session at National Council of Teachers of Mathematics meeting rejected

I proposed a Sage session for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics meeting in New Orleans next April, and it was rejected. Did someone else propose a similar session, or did they just reject the idea of a Sage session? I gave a session (different topic) at the 2013 NCTM meeting, an

[sage-edu] I/O to Local Files

I'm helping organize the Modeling and Analysis Challenge in the Student Program at XSEDE'14, tomorrow. The students have to use Sage notebooks, and have set up accounts on the Sage server at Clemson. The students will want to input/output data from/to local files (on their laptops). How do

Re: [sage-edu] I/O to Local Files

The training today was on the Clemson server, and I don't want to change things unnecessarily. There has to be a way to get data in and out. Brad On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 4:59 PM, David Joyner wrote: > On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 4:50 PM, Brad Burkman wrote: > > Data files are n
