  1. Interactive Figures, eBook and MyMathLab Advantages of using the Briggs/Cochran Calculus eBook Presented by German Vargas College of Coastal Georgia Speaking About… Math and Stats February 2013

  2. Introduction • The Book • Our experience at College of Coastal Georgia • The eBook • Advantages • MyMathLab • Homework Assignments • Mathematica Player (CDF Player) • Interactive eBook • Classroom Instruction • Examples

  3. Transformations of Functions • Obtain immediate response in a graph of a function as you change different parameters

  4. Transformations of Functions • Obtain immediate response in a graph of a function as you change different parameters

  5. You are in control • Explore new concepts visually without being limited to few examples. You choose the values in the graphs…

  6. Limits • Show how slopes of secant lines approach the slope of the tangent line with a interactive figure instead of a sequence of separate images

  7. Precise Definition of a Limit • Present strong concepts in a fun and interactive way

  8. Zoom with a slider • Zoom or change the window box to explore fine details or special behaviors of graphs.

  9. When you are not there • Students have the opportunity to see demonstration typically presented by their professors directly in the eBook as they read it.

  10. When you are not there • Students have the opportunity to see demonstration typically presented by their professors directly in the eBook as they read it.

  11. Dynamic Figures • Observe dynamic figures instead of snapshots of situations that are dynamical in nature.

  12. Dynamic Figures • Observe dynamic figures instead of snapshots of situations that are dynamical in nature.

  13. Optimization Problems

  14. Approximations • Compare different approximations in a single interactive figure.

  15. Approximations • Introduce new concepts without sacrificing the level of customization of the figures.

  16. 3D Constructions • Volume by Slicing

  17. 3D Constructions • Volume of solids with a given cross sectional shape

  18. 3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Disks

  19. 3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Washers

  20. 3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Shells

  21. Conic Sections
