MAA PREP Program, Summer 2010
Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) is free, open-source, and comprehensive mathematics software. You will discover how to use Sage to enhance your courses, customized to your institution and curriculum. There will be three online sessions during the summer; one day will introduce you to Sage, a two-day session will emphasize creating curricular materials, and the final day will help you take full advantage of Sage in the classroom (we expect all of these to run 11-1 and 3-5, Eastern Time). Between sessions, you will explore Sage on your own schedule, with dedicated online "office hours" from the organizers.
No previous usage of Sage is assumed.
Schedule
There is a separate page with a detailed schedule for the workshop sessions and office hours with the organizers.
The tutorials for the workshop will be posted as they come out.
Elluminate TeleConference System
The four online sessions will be conducted with Elluminate software. Here is our guide for technical, logistical and productive use of this system.
Resources
There are a number of online resources for learning about Sage in education. Several useful ones include:
The sage-edu Google group is a discussion area for ideas about using Sage in education.
The sage-support Google group is a support list for general or specific questions about Sage.
There is a good section of the Sage wiki devoted to sample interactive demonstrations, or "Sagelets".
