I finally got the go ahead at my school to run a course they call Calculus Research Lab (CRL). I wanted to call it Scientific Computing Lab, but that's beside the point. I have a little experience using SAGE in my PC Lab/Classroom as I started using it in my intro Computer Science class last year to run a new Discrete Math with Python course.
CRL will be a computer lab course using SAGE that meets one period every other day, like a science lab, in addition to the traditional AP Calculus class. I'm basing the lab primarily on David Joyner's great introductory texts from this site, http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/index.html. I have to focus on Calculus I (Differential Calculus) and Calculus II (Integral Calculus) but I hope to do a little of the Differential Equations text too. I'm curious if anyone out there has had success with using SAGE at this level. I'm in a US High School setting, but Freshman or Sophomore College level experience would also be helpful. Any pointers or other resources you can recommend will be greatly appreciated! TIA, A.
