I just want to echo what everyone else said that these are great, and hopefully a great resource. What is especially valuable is that they are useful at the high school level, which we don't have as much of quite yet in terms of resources.
In fact, even if they are not included in Sage, we would highly encourage you to add these examples to the wiki at http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact if you feel so inclined (this implies a certain license, related to what Jason mentioned). This will make it easier for people (for now) to find your examples. I would not worry so much with interactive 'Sagelets' when it comes to optimization, as long as you feel it's snappy. Instead, making the good user interface (soon, or maybe even now, it is possible to organize the controls, for instance) is what you would want to focus on. For instance, why not make the coin-flipping example take a variable number of tosses, so that students can see that how visibly the proportion is (or isn't) away from 0.5 even with many more tosses, in general. Thanks for posting this. Also, when your thesis is ready, please send another email here or to sage-devel, so that it can be added to the list of publications using or mentioning Sage. - kcrisman On Jul 27, 12:36 pm, Lauri Ruotsalainen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sage community! > > I'm writing my master's thesis on on the usage of Sage in high school > level mathematics.
