Welcome¶
The UTMOST project is a CCLI Type 2 grant that promotes open-source software and open-source curriculum in the undergraduate mathematics classroom.
Freely-available open software, open textbooks, and other open curricular materials can allow teachers everywhere to transform the undergraduate mathematics curriculum by tightly and seamlessly integrating mathematics software with more traditional curricular materials.
Open Software¶
We integrate Sage directly into open course materials.
- costly and time-consuming commercial licenses avoided
- curriculum steers software development
- usable anytime, anywhere, with just a web browser
Open Textbooks¶
Open course materials are freely available to anyone, anywhere.
- freely change and adapt course textbooks and materials
- freely distribute original or adapted textbooks and materials
- integrate technology easily
News¶
August 2011¶
- AIM Open Textbook Initiative
- American Institute of Mathematics has launched its Open Textbook Initiative. This initiative will review and provide links to high-quality open-source textbooks. This initiative is supported in part by UTMOST.
- Sage-Enhanced Textbooks
- Rob Beezer announced his work on enhancing his linear algebra textbook and also announced his work on enhancing Judson’s abstract algebra textbook. Both of these projects involved work sponsored by UTMOST.
- Embedding Sage in a webpage (beta)
You can now embed Sage into any webpage! A beta version of the Sage Cell server was released. See the public beta announcement on the Sage development list.
As an example, click the button below to explore a Taylor polynomial
or generate graph paper (including a pdf)
or try whatever Sage computation you want below.
