This is the review of Algebra in 10 lessons written in TeX and converted to the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Features include verbose discussion of topics, typeset quality mathematics, user interactivity in the form of multiple choice quizzes, in-line examples and exercises with complete solutions, and pop-up graphics.

Why? Why? Is a good question to ask. This review of (high school) algebra in 10 lessons is designed to prepare students entering The University of Akron for our Math Placement Exam II. The mark received on this test determines the starting point in mathematics at our university. Reasons for and uses of this tutorial are given in the opening menu.

AMS-TeX
version 2.1:

Why TeX and why AMS-TeX? The goal of the tutorials was to have textbook quality typesetting. AMS-TeX has a broad collection of mathematical typesetting macros that makes life easy. I did not use LaTeX. Plain TeX combined with AMS-TeX gave me the ability to write highly specialized formatting macros without being forced into a finite collection of packaged formats.

TeX Compiler
and Previewer

Some of the goals of these tutorials were to have color fonts, hypertext link capabilities for cross-referencing as well as textbook quality typesetting. After looking around for what was available (freeware, shareware, and payware), I settled on the Y&Y TeX System. This was the only system that had all the stated features---and then some.
I found that the people at Y&Y were extremely cooperative. They worked with me and added in some additional features that I argued were important and needed. Without their help the initial phase of the project could not have progressed nearly as fast as it did.
As a consequence of the high quality of the Y&Y product, I have been able to develop on-line tutorials in Calculus and Algebra that have a high degree of interactivity (also one of the goals of the project). On my Department's local network, students used the DVIWindo to view the tutorials. One of the problems with the concept of an on-line tutorial was that the students had to come into the computer labs to read the tutorial. Early on, students asked me if the tutorials were available over the `net; my answer, an emphatic: "No!"
Fortunately, the people of Y&Y anticipated the directions of TeX publication. They had already begun to work on the problem of porting PostScript files produced by their TeX compiler to the Portable Document Format of Adobe. This again made it very, very easy to move portions of the tutorial to the net. See the next point.

Acrobat 3.0
by Adobe

Given that the basic goals of the project are still valid, the natural choice of document format was PDF. Y&Y's DVIPSONE automatically converts the hypertext links within the dvi file to pdfmarks. Hence, converting from dvi to pdf was a painless (almost) task. Within DVIWindo, we print the dvi file to Adobe's Distiller Assistant. The Assistant calls the Distiller to convert the file to the pdf format. A one-step process!
Some of the interactivity is lost however. As I learn more about Acrobat and it's capabilities, perhaps all the tricks that I used for the dvi files can eventually be ported to the pdf format.
Of course, a pdf file can be read on most any platform using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

The tutorial is setup for the Web and so many of the brown links are relative path URL's...they will not work on a local hard disk. Some brown links will work: The ones that simply load a pdf file; it is the links that have a named destination that will not work. All of the green links will work.

These are natural limitations put on the system by the Acrobat application. Loading a file works the same whether on the Web or on a local system; jumping to a named destination in another pdf file requires one set commands for the Web and an entirely different set of commands for a local disk system. It is a bit of a nuisance because the tutorial is available locally at The University of Akron; consequently, I must recompile all files twice, once for the web and again for a local disk system.

The tutorial is undergoing constant change; downloading the tutorial immediately outdates it! What you see here is my `first time through.' Over the next year, I'll re-read the entire tutorial, re-write it, add new exercises and examples, more figures, better explanations etc, etc, and, of course, etc.

The Web system works very well at The University of Akron---the access time in my office is quite acceptable. Should you be interested, I might consider allowing other universities mirror this site, in this way the tutorial will be a greater pleasure (more than it already is :--) ) to use.

En este artculo se presentan y discuten los resultados de una experiencia educativa de nivel superior que incluye el uso de un Juego Serio Mvil, y cuyos destinatarios son estudiantes ingresantes a un grupo de carreras de grado de la Universidad Nacional de Ro Negro, en sus sedes Atlntica y Andina. La propuesta busca recuperar y reforzar habilidades de resolucin de ecuaciones algebraicas. En este sentido, la evaluacin de la propuesta no se focaliza en el rendimiento acadmico, sino y fundamentalmente, en analizar la experiencia del estudiante durante su actividad con el juego. La primera parte de este trabajo es una introduccin al tema, luego se abordan los conceptos de juegos serios y aprendizaje mvil, y sus posibilidades en educacin. A continuacin se describe la propuesta, enfocando en la etapa de evaluacin de la experiencia con el uso del juego, luego se presentan algunos resultados preliminares y por ltimo las conclusiones y trabajo a futuro.
