Courseware developed by faculty at SLU

The following courseware and worksheets were developed by faculty in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saint Louis University. If you find the material useful, please drop a note via e-mail to the author.

Projects and worksheets:

• A collection of Applets for Calculus includes applets developed locally as well as applets developed elsewhere.  There is also a collection of Applets for Courses below Calculus.
• Occasional Maple for Calc II is a series of worksheets using Maple in teaching calculus II. The worksheets are designed assuming that Maple is only used occasionally in the course, so it has to be made friendlier to use.
• We are currently teaching multivariate calculus in a computer classroom.  We have created a collection of  Jave Applets and Maple worksheets for Calculus III.  The worksheets have also been used in an MAA PREP workshop, Exploring Mulrivariable Calculus with Maple.
  
• We have developed a series of Maple Worksheets for Linear Algebra.  Some of the worksheet development was part of and NSF ILI grant.  The worksheets have also been used in an MAA PREP workshop, Exploring Linear Algebra with Maple.
  
• The Abstract Algebra worksheets are a series of of about a dozen Maple worksheets designed to be used by students in upper division or early graduate level courses in abstract algebra. The worksheets look at concepts like Euclidean norm, Euclidean algorithm, computations in extension fields, automorphisms, groups of automorphisms, Galois groups of polynomials, and transcendental field extensions.
• The Cryptography worksheets were written for an elective course in cryptography. The course breaks into four pieces, looking at: Classical cryptogrphic systems, Public Key Cryptography, Symmetric Block Cryptography, and real world issues.
• The TI calculator calculus programs are programs designed by department faculty for teaching calculus with a TI calculator.
• The Geometry Worksheets have been used in our Geometry course for Education majors and in a fresman seminar course. Topics include: tessellations, Geometer Sketchpad labs, etc.
