Abstract

Sage is an open-source software package that can be used in many different areas of mathematics, ranging from algebra to calculus and beyond. One of the most exciting pedagogical features of Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) is its ability to create interacts—interactive examples that can be used in a classroom demonstration or by students in a computer laboratory. By accessing a simple Web-based Sage Notebook interface, we can quickly compute a diverse range of examples, such as finding the prime factorization of a positive integer or graphing transformations of functions. Graphing calculator explorations translate nicely into Sage, and the interact feature makes them much more dynamic.
