Calculus-with-Jupyter: Accessible Math Content
Jupyter Book is a powerful tool to create accessible, free content for students in an alternative mode than traditional textbooks or online, third-party problem tools. Our textbooks contribute to a future for secondary mathematics education (and beyond) that puts the instructors and students at the center of their education. We have incorporated interactive & regenerative question banks, IPython notebooks, and step-by-step tutorials into the typical textbook experience. Meanwhile, we’ve built a suite of tools to help many courses, subjects, and universities participate in this paradigm shift.
My roles included content creation (both textbook and notebook activities), backend, user experience, and documentation. Multiple sections of MATH 110: Techniques of Calculus I at Penn State University Park have already piloted this new resource ever since the Fall 2021 semester.
