Abstract.

A Political Redistricting Tool for the Rest of Us

In the United States, congressional districts are redrawn every ten years based on changes in population revealed by the census.

Which Planet is Largest?

In this article, we use on-line resources and computational tools to approximate the volume of the space occupied by each planet as it orbits the Sun.

 

Chebyshev Interpolation: An Interactive Tour

In this article we use Java applets to interactively explore some of the classical results on approximation using Chebyshev polynomials. We also discuss an active research area that uses the Chebyshev polynomials.

Interactive Web-Based Mathematics Communication

This article introduces a Web-based technology, called enVision, that extends the concept of a chatroom or whiteboard to include capabilities for mathematical and symbolic content.

The Chebyshev Equioscillation Theorem

The Chebyshev equioscillation theorem is of great importance in polynomial approximation, but is usually omitted from the undergraduate numerical analysis course. Our aim in this paper is to use applets to motivate and illustrate the proof.

Video Conferencing in a Bridge-building Mathematics Activity

Our purpose in this descriptive, exploratory study is to report on our efforts in conducting a cyber tutoring project that combined two curricular domains ---- mathematics education and engineering education.

Write Your Own Excel Mathlets

This Developers' Area article presents a five-step procedure to help authors construct mathlets in Excel. The procedure is demonstrated with a mathlet that shows the tangent line to the graph of a function.

Scalable Vector Graphics

This is an article on Scalable Vector Graphics, a standard format for two dimensional vector graphics. The first part is a gallery of examples that demonstrate a few of the possibilities. The second part breaks down one of the examples in detail.
