"No Excuses" Software for Math

Just finished teaching a short course on software for use in math classes.It’s a course required for math majors, and the objective is to familiarize students with the various types of software to do math. Way back when, like ten years ago, math software was the domain of licensed software housed in college computer labs. The usual stuff happened –… Read more →

I’m looking forward to using GeoGebra in my math for elementary teachers course as well as my graduate course for high school math teachers.
