Abstract

We are developing a system that can embed algebraic manipulations, mathematical formulas and graphs in web pages without any plug-ins by using a mashup approach. The web page loaded from any web sites as a learning management system (or loaded as a local file) can embed algebraic manipulations and visualize mathematical formulas using MathML by accessing an external web application server which provides Maxima's functions in cross-domain and asynchronous communication, where the Maxima is a free open-source computer algebra program. Our system also provides a function of plotting graphs dynamically by the combination of the Maxima and Flot, where Flot is a JavaScript plotting library for jQuery using HTML 5. We developed a prototype system and applied for several web contents for checking its possibilities.
