Maple Tools and Techniques for Creating Mathematical Diagrams for the Classroom Mathematics is communicated through a vast geometric and symbolic vocabulary. Visual images tremendously facilitate the expression of mathematical concepts, problems and solution strategies.
Diagrams are also extremely useful in constructing sharply focused exercises for students.
The MathClass package introduces Maple tools and techniques for constructing textbook-quality mathematical diagrams. Professors Paul Eakin, Carl Eberhart, and K.K. Kubota are developing the MathClass package as part of a National Science Foundation CCLI curriculum development project at the University of Kentucky. Four self-contained lessons demonstrate the features and techniques of the package. Download the package code and Lessons 1-4 . Blocks and Bricks Gives an overview of Maple's built-in graphics programming by demonstrating how to draw and animate stacks of blocks and bricks.
