Mathematics Department faculty member Paul Seeburger recently presented a workshop titled, “An Introduction to Graphing Equations and User Controls in Excel 2007” to a national group of community college mathematics educators.
The workshop was held at the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) conference in Washington, D.C. on November 20. Paul taught participants to use Excel 2007 to graph functions, modify charts, record macros, and create dynamic mathematical explorations using buttons, drop-down menus, scrollbars, etc. In addition, he provided a step-by-step handout.
Professor Seeburger also had a poster display titled “Dynamic Visualization Tools for Multivariate Calculus” set up at the conference. This display was based on work he is doing through an NSF grant.
