The aim of this project is to produce a library of portable, interactive, web based support packages to help students learn various mathematical ideas and techniques and to support classroom teaching. The packages are in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). These packages will introduce the mathematical ideas and their rules. The packages will use the linking capabilities of PDF files to generate exercises and quizzes and so allow the students to test their understanding of the material with immediate feedback. We will also use our backgrounds in science to construct smaller support packages to show applications of mathematics in science and engineering.
To view the files, you will need the latest (free) version of Acrobat Reader: Acrobat Reader 6.0. Detailed instructions about how to use the packages can be found here.
The Packages:
Note that the packages may be either worked through on line or downloaded and used on any computer. They are compact enough to fit on a floppy disk.| Basic Algebra | Graphs | Trigonometry | Calculus | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vectors | Matrices and Determinants | Vector Calculus | Logic and Proof | |
| Units | Applications | |||

The Software:
Since HTML, the language of the web, is poorly suited to mathematical formulae, this project uses LaTeX and PDF. LaTeX is a variant of TeX, which is the world standard for typesetting mathematics. It produces professional quality output which is universally accepted by scientific publishing companies. We use LaTeX to produce PDF (portable document format) output which can be put on the web. These PDF files are read using the freely available and widely distributed Adobe Acrobat Reader.
