Solow Anita E. (ed.). Learning by Discovery: A Lab Manual for Calculus

The Mathematical Association of America, 1996 – 171 p. – (Classroom Resource Materials, Volume 1) – ISBN 9780883850831, 0883850834.Learning By Discovery contains 26 laboratory modules that can be used as lab components in your course, or assigned as independent projects. The labs are written without specific computer commands, so students read mathematics, not text. Suggestions are provided for implementing these labs on Derive, Maple and Mathematica. Many can be done on graphing calculators.Introduction: Resources for Calculus Collection
