For the last several months, I have been involved in developing 

interactive text in the following areas:



1. Calculus: Project Calc in MathKit. The first semester of project 

Calc laboratory manual is completed in MathKit, and the second 

semester in progress. This will be available to the participants in 

the conference to examine. These labs are developed in an environment 

where reading, exploring, discussion, writing, and reporting all take 

place within the same application. The authoring environment used here 

is Mathwright (James E. White, IAT)



2. Dynamical Systems: An extensive interactive text on discrete 

dynamical systems and their properties. Among other things, this text 

includes discussion of orbit structure, bifurcations, bifurcation 

diagrams, sensitive dependence on initial conditions, entropy, 

Lyapunov exponents, conjugacy, chaos, and some applications. This 

project is also developed in the authoring environment Mathwright.



3.Explorations in  Differential Equations
