Pitágoras Pinheiro de Carvalho; Afonso Norberto da Silva; Maria da Cruz Vieira da Silva; William Fernando da Silva Rodrigues – Discover Education, 2024
This work was developed to present constructive steps of multiple integrals using the open-source software Geogebra. The main focus was directed towards creating three-dimensional graphs of integrals through Riemann sums in two variables. Some practical examples are developed to demonstrate the reliability of the presented results, which are…

Fowler, Jim; Snapp, Bart; Johns, Carolyn; Andrews, Darry; Boros, Dan; Clemens, Herb; Ferdinand, Vic; Findell, Brad; Husen, Bill; Johnson, John H.; Lakos, Nela; Miller, Elizabeth; Ramsey, Bobby; Sheldon, Jenny; Talamo, Jim; Carlson, Tim – PRIMUS, 2021
An interactive open-source calculus textbook is compared to a popular commercial textbook. Structured as a non-inferiority study, use of the open-source textbook does not harm student outcomes, and there is evidence that the open-source textbook is better than the commercial textbook in promoting post-course enjoyment of mathematics and confidence…

Borovik, Alexandre – Research in Learning Technology, 2011
Although mathematicians frequently use specialist software in direct teaching of mathematics, as a means of delivery e-learning technologies have so far been less widely used. We (mathematicians) insist that teaching methods should be subject-specific and content-driven, not delivery-driven. We oppose generic approaches to teaching, including…
