Interactive Figures, eBook and MyMathLab Advantages of using the Briggs/Cochran Calculus eBook Presented by German Vargas College of Coastal Georgia Speaking About… Math and Stats February 2013
Introduction • The Book • Our experience at College of Coastal Georgia • The eBook • Advantages • MyMathLab • Homework Assignments • Mathematica Player (CDF Player) • Interactive eBook • Classroom Instruction • Examples
Transformations of Functions • Obtain immediate response in a graph of a function as you change different parameters
Transformations of Functions • Obtain immediate response in a graph of a function as you change different parameters
You are in control • Explore new concepts visually without being limited to few examples. You choose the values in the graphs…
Limits • Show how slopes of secant lines approach the slope of the tangent line with a interactive figure instead of a sequence of separate images
Precise Definition of a Limit • Present strong concepts in a fun and interactive way
Zoom with a slider • Zoom or change the window box to explore fine details or special behaviors of graphs.
When you are not there • Students have the opportunity to see demonstration typically presented by their professors directly in the eBook as they read it.

Dynamic Figures • Observe dynamic figures instead of snapshots of situations that are dynamical in nature.
Dynamic Figures • Observe dynamic figures instead of snapshots of situations that are dynamical in nature.
Approximations • Compare different approximations in a single interactive figure.
Approximations • Introduce new concepts without sacrificing the level of customization of the figures.
3D Constructions • Volume by Slicing
3D Constructions • Volume of solids with a given cross sectional shape
3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Disks
3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Washers
3D Constructions • Volume of solids of revolution: Shells
Vector Operations • No need to incorporate external applets to your presentation
Level Curves • Electric Potential function
