Maple - The World's First Fully Integrated Analytical Computation System


Student Projects for Introductory Calculus

These student projects have been developed by the mathematics department of IUPUI for their introductory calculus sequence Integrated Calculus with Analytic Geometry I and II.

Each project begins with a brief review of a topic that has been presented in lecture. The student is then guided through a Maple exploration of the topic.

Projects are rated as either Basic or Honors. Basic projects are mandatory for all students in the course. Honors projects are offered as extra credit or used for honors sections.

All 60 projects are available on this site in PDF format.
