LiveMath in Teaching
LiveMath is one of the software commonly referred to as
computer algebra systems (CAS). Its primary purpose is to help teachers and students visualize mathematics by providing live updates on graphs and computational results when numerical data or values of variables in equations are changed on the fly.
Compared to other
CAS, LiveMath shines in two key areas:
| • |
It uses no cryptic syntaxes. |
| • |
It provides a seamless process for creating web pages that display exactly the same equations and graphs in the original LiveMath files, called Notebooks. |
In this tutorial, I will first outline how we convert a LiveMath Notebook to a web page, along with a few examples of LiveMath at work on the web.
