MIT Mathlets in Lecture, Module 1

This module contains two examples of using MIT Mathlets in lecture. The first illustrates the artistic and dynamic character of the Mathlets. The second and more interactive example shows how formulas can be brought to life using the Mathlets in lecture. Each segment is followed by questions, my remarks about the lecture fragments and the features of the Mathlets, and examples that illuminate their use. At the end there are a couple of exercises. This module is part of self-paced short course by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Haynes R. Miller, Ph.D. focuses on the use of technology in mathematics education at the university level. The course begins with an introduction and then explores the MIT Mathlets collection by providing examples of Mathlet use in three different contexts. This course was produced by the MIT Office of Educational Innovation and Technology with support from MIT Academic Media Production Services and the support of the Education Development Center, Inc. and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
