CFP: NSF research study, open textbooks and mathematics software

[Rob Beezer]

The UTMOST Project (http://utmost.aimath.org/) investigates the affordances and
challenges of integrating powerful open source software for mathematics into
open source textbooks and course materials that are available in a variety of
formats. The project seeks to understand the ways in which these tools change
instruction in undergraduate mathematics courses and create new learning
opportunities.

We are proposing a four-year research project to the National Science
Foundation's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program and are
looking for the participation of faculty who teach undergraduate mathematics.
We are looking for faculty interested in teaching using these textbooks and
materials as part of the research study.

colleagues who might be interested.
