Worksheets and/or labs for Calculus and Linear Algebra

[Dana Ernst]

Greetings!  I'm doing some last minute prepping for my courses that start on Monday (yes, we start much later than most).  This semester I am teaching Calculus II, Calculus III, and Linear Algebra (and one other class, but that is not relevant to my question).  I've dabbled with Sage in my courses in the past, but I'm hoping to step it up a few notches this semester.  In the past, the Sage labs that I've assigned have been more introductory than exploratory.  I also occasionally model things you can do with Sage during class.  

I'm curious if anyone would be willing to share any calculus and/or linear algebra related Sage worksheets/labs with me.  In particular, I'm looking for worksheets that get students to explore new topics.  I'd also be interested in developing some new ones if anyone is interested in doing that together with me (although, with 4 different preps this semester and all the other usual stuff, I may not have much time to commit).

Thanks.

Dana

Some are posted here:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/worksheets/
See also the calc1+sage book
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/calc1-sage/
and the calc2+sage book
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/calc2-sage/
(I think someone - maybe Minh - has been working more on this and
might have a better version somewhere?)

For linear algebra, see Rob Beezer's http://linear.ups.edu/
He has sws files posted somewhere but I can't find them now.

Good luck.

John Perry's work at http://www.math.usm.edu/sage/ is a great resource
for ideas and/or worksheets.

Thanks for all the great links.  Much appreciated!

we have some stuff on 

http://web.spms.ntu.edu.sg/~dima/MTH213/sws.html

that is more a "refresher" course, though...

Thanks!

Several multivariate worksheets are posted at http://sagenb.mc.edu/pub/
(the course is 222). I have been experimenting with using Sage within
WebWork via the sage cell server. If you use WW and want to take a
peek, login as guest at http://math.mc.edu/webwork2/sage_demos/ .
