Gradual Deployment Year Trans Functs # students per semester Assessment Late (VPR) 60 (1 section) [141] [142] Overly optimistic; too much syntax; too much typing Late (VPR) 170 (3 sections) [141] [142] More reasonable; less typing/syntax; each week like a project Early (ABD) (all sections) [141] [142] Begin to utilize M4C; labs are more “useful” Early (ABD) (all sections) [141] [142] Fewer quizzes; extensive use of M4C

Collection of more than 50 maplets … utilizing Maple’s symbolic, numeric, and graphic capabilities … to create student-(and instructor-) friendly environments … for learning and teaching fundamental calculus concepts, manipulations, theory, and applications.  Maplet  Applet created in the Maple programming language  Co-Authors  Phil Yasskin (TAMU) and Doug Meade (USC)

 Pre-Calculus (13)  Limits (4)  Derivatives (19)  Integrals (15)  Differential Equations (2)  Sequences / Series (3)  Curvilinear Coordinates (2)

 Problem Definition  Algorithmic problems provide almost endless practice problems  Ability to enter user-defined problems allows for use on traditional homework

 Problem Solution / Checking  Step-by-step approach closely follows standard methods and terminology found in textbooks  Hints are available  Solution is checked symbolically step-by-step  Correct solution can be displayed

 Web Access  USC/TAMU Students (secure)  TOC/Videos (non-secure)  Individual and Classroom Licenses  available through Maplesoft’s MapleConnect program

More Maplets for Calculus at ICTCM 18  Saturday, March 18, 9:55 – 10:30, Maplesoft booth  Phil Yasskin & Doug Meade  Demonstration of Maplets for Calculus, and a discussion with the authors.  Saturday, March 18, 12:30 – 1:15, Salon VII  Phil Yasskin  Presentation of a collection of Maplets (applets written with Maple) to assist students and faculty with the learning and teaching of calculus.
