• to explore and/or to solve mathematics problems,
• Example: Use a CAS, like Mathematica or Wolfram-Alpha, to find the roots of polynomials using various methods.
• Example: Use a graphing calculator to find the best straight line fit to a given set of data.
• to create pedagogical demonstrations
• Example: Use a dynamic geometry software, like Geogebra, to create a demonstration about concurrence of certain lines in a triangle.
• to communicate math ideas using various technology tools
• Example: Create a website explaining a given math topic
• Example: Use latex to communicate mathematical ideas in writing.

• Homework 20%: Homework will be posted online each Thursday evening and must be posted on the Stony Brook Google site before midnight of the due date (the following Thursday).
• All solutions must be written in Latex and submitted in pdf form unless otherwise stated. 
• Each graded problem or activity is worth up to 10 points.
• You are encouraged to study with and discuss problems with others from the class, but you must write up your own homework by yourself on your own.
• Mathematical writing is an important part of this course and will be part of your grade.  All problem sets  should be written in  complete English sentences, with correct grammar and correct spelling.
• All mathematical steps should be clearly justified.
• The number of symbols and abbreviations/acronyms should be minimal (or zero).
• Proofread what you have written before submitting. Reading aloud to yourself is helpful for this.
• Two projects 30% each. Your target audience is a reasonable high school senior. Two lessons will be on topics of your choice and the third one  will be assigned. Here is a list of possible topics. Each project must consist of
1. 15-20 minutes oral exposition using technology resources.
2. A written exposition in latex or html, which must be posted ten days before your exposition (making sure you give a clear definition of each term you introduce). This exposition should have meaningful illustrations.  This draft should be an illustrated set of notes that "stand alone", and do not depend on your lecture. You can think of this draft as notes for a students who miss the class you taught that day.
3. Four homework problems for the audience with solutions written in Latex. (Homework must include the use of software and/or graphing calculator).
• Each project will be graded as follows
•  appropriate use of technology 9 points
• mathematical correctness and depth 6 points
• homework 3 points
• oral presentation 6  points
• writing quality 6 points
• Class participation: 20%
