| Course | Fully developed web-based version of a first-term differential calculus course with lessons, practice, midterm, and final exam |
| The Applications of Differential Equations Booklet | Great as preparation for the AP exam for the BC group or as material for
the AB group after the AP exam. Students are guided in writing differential equations to describe patterns of change. In most cases, the differential equations are created by the students based on their work on questions probing patterns of change to be described. The students then study and use a set of rather simple graphing calculator programs to implement Euler's Method in generating sets of points approximating points on the graphs of the solutions of their differential equations. The material is presented in a format which encourages group discussion and experimentation. |

| Shareware graphing package | This package in addition to the usual will also graph slope fields and provides the ability to approximate the solutions of up to fourth-order differential equations. |
| Instructions for computer software | Originally, this collection was designed for instructors to give some ideas how technology, in particular, computers, can be used in the teaching of calculus. Detailed instructions on implementing these ideas with various public domain, shareware and commercial software packages are provided. The collection has been expanded to include tutorials, interactive modules (MathView, Java, and Javascript) which can be used by either students or faculty and now also includes detailed instructions for TI-85 and TI-86 graphing calculators. As an additional aid for students, modules containing quizzes and drill problems have also been added. |
