Calculus Reform Movements - Mathematics Education at the Math Forum The Math Forum's suggested sites on calculus reform, including projects, discussions, conferences, and a bibliography. more>> Computer Algebra Systems in Calculus Reform - Lisa Denise Murphy A literature review that starts with a brief history of the calculus reform movement and goes on to describe several studies in which computer algebra systems (CAS) were used in introductory calculus courses. With the beginnings of an annotated list of sources. more>> The PostCALC Project - Duke University The PostCALC Project is a branch of the Connected Curriculum Library that presents interactive, mathematically-based modules designed for high school students who have finished a year-long course in calculus. These modules, each appropriate for several weeks' work by individuals or small groups of students, illustrate the use of calculus in a wide range of applications: Maple tutor, Fourier approximations and music, introduction to differential equations, population growth models, distributions of data, the SIR model for spread of disease, and systems of differential equations: models of species interaction. With links to Web Feats, summer workshops for high school teachers who want to learn how to create interactive online materials. more>> Reform Calculus Resources - Harel Barzilai Many printable activities and worksheets, some with solutions, long-term student projects, capsules and tutorials, and resources for instructors including a sample second-semester calculus course with in-class groupwork activities, projects, and student oral presentations. Entries are indexed by keyword and by the section in which they occur in the text Calculus: Concepts and Contexts by James Stewart. more>>
