Screencasts: Mathematica in the Classroom

Symbolic Algebra 

Mathematica does symbolic algebra and can solve all sorts of equations. Graphing is easy as is defining functions and using them in additional calculations.

Two-Dimensional Graphing 

Mathematica goes far beyond graphing calculators. Options include colors, gridlines, filling styles, dashing, tick marks, and more. Everything can be copied and pasted into other files.

Three-Dimensional Graphing 

Add a new dimension to discussions of functions and graphs. Three-dimensional graphs are simple yet also have a wide variety of options. Graphs are interactive, with rotation and zoom.

Trigonometric Graphs Example 

Illustrate ideas and graphs interactively by changing a variable with a button, checkbox, or slider. Mathematics becomes active and engaging for students and teachers.

Dynamic Illustrations 

Here are four examples from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. See how dynamic graphs can illustrate concepts in new ways.

Statistics Examples 

Coding, tables, and graphs can all be combined in a single Mathematica notebook as you work through an idea. Using random numbers creates endless possibilities.

Generate Exercises 

With a little programming Mathematica becomes an infinite problem generator. It can also solve every problem you create. The results can be formatted for worksheets and tests.

Notebook Lesson 

An entire Mathematica notebook can be organized into sections and formatted for class notes, a projected lesson, or a slide show. Formatting styles and typesetting equations polish your work.
