Supplementing Calculus with Mathematica

Michael C. Sostarecz

Monmouth College

Abstract

Monmouth College has recently begun using Mathematica to supplement in its calculus sequence.  During lecture, the new features of Version 6 are used to create dynamic examples to increase student engagement.  In addition, laboratory-type exercises are used to break up lecture and allow more of an active learning experience.  Mathematica notebooks and preliminary assessment will be provided.
