The book "High School Sage" [1] is an ongoing project to write curriculum materials for high school mathematics that uses Sage. Once there is enough materials, the next step would be to convert the materials to an interactive book. > Calculus&Mathematica seems to be an innovative program to create > similar "interactive textbooks" for Mathematica for calculus. Open source projects have a very high turn over with respect to human resource; someone may be working on one part of the project one day, and then would stop contributing altogether the next. Thus it's not surprising that some part of a project receives attention and innovative work, while other aspects are left to wither on the vine. > Anyone know of such a project or if NSF or anyone else would be > interested in funding development of such Sage interactive textbooks? I don't know of a specific grant to fund the development of an interactive calculus book. However, I'm aware of the ongoing book "Integral Calculus and Sage" [2], whose goal is to produce a book on integral calculus that incorporates calculus features of Sage. It's conceivable that once the whole book is fully fleshed out, there is scope to convert it into an interactive textbook.
