Can the Web Help Students Succeed? Neat Networks UTEP May 5, 1998

Philosophy S.O.S. MATHematics is the website of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Texas at El Paso, where you can work with materials to help you: do your homework prepare for a test get ready for class

Philosophy The material presented here reviews the most important results, techniques and formulas in college and pre-college mathematics. The learning units are presented in worksheet format and require your active participation! This is not meant to be a substitute for your classroom instruction or for reading your textbook.

Scope -planned Pre-College –Arithmetic/Algebra –Geometry –Trigonometry College –Calculus –Matrix Algebra –Differential Equations

Scope Pre-College –Arithmetic/Algebra –Trigonometry College –Calculus –Differential Equations –Matrix Algebra –Complex Variables

Scope- Added by “Popular Demand” Cyber-Exam Tables and Formulas

Design Minimal Requirements –Internet Browser Netscape Navigator 2 –No frames –No plug-ins –Accessible with slow computers –Accessible with 28.8 modem No excessive graphics, sounds, movies etc.

Design Absolute Links versus Relative Links: –Do not use absolute links unless you link to outside resources! CSS Stylesheets –Gives you more control on the layout of the web page as viewed by the user!

How to Put Math on the Web? Mathematics Formulas can still not be displayed by the Common Internet Browsers!

How to Put Math on the Web? Viable Alternatives in 1996: –Microsoft Word’s Equation Editor Pro: Easy conversion Con: Buggy, text-formula alignment pretty bad –LaTeX2HTML Pro: LaTeX based, Looks good, can do any math formula Con: Complicated process, slow conversion, inconvenient for the content producer

How to Put Math on the Web? More Alternatives in 1998: –TeX Explorer (IBM) Pro: fast display, looks good, LaTeX based Con: needs plug-in, still under development, content developer dependent on company strategies

How to Put Math on the Web? Math Markup Language (MathML) has been accepted by W3C as the web standard. –Standard Plug-ins and Translators should become available.
