Description:
Maplets for Calculus is a collection of pedagogical Maplets designed to help students learn calculus. Some of the Maplets help to build intuition and some provide practice with routine computational techniques.
Most of the Maplets support both algorithmically generated (random) problems as well as user-entered problems. This allows students to enter a specific problem from another source, such as a textbook, or to use the Maplet for drill practice in preparation for a quiz or exam. Instructors can enter a problem to illustrate a specific concept. In a lab setting, the algorithmically generated questions can be used to allow each student to work on a different problem and use their findings to motivate a general result.
The authors also welcome any other feedback that might help to improve the Maplets for Calculus collection including suggestions for additional maplets.
For education purposes, the Maplets in this collection are designed to be highly pedagogical. Most of the Student[Calculus1] Maplets that come with Maple are calculators Ð you tell the Maplet something you want to visualize or compute and the Maplet shows or computes the requested object. By contrast, the Maplets in the Maplets for Calculus collection ask the student a question and the student works through intermediate steps to obtain the answer. The Maplet checks intermediate results, tells the user if their answer is correct or where it is incorrect and provides hints along the way.
