How do I find samples of this? My idea is to have students draw the boundaries of sets defined by inequalities of complex variables or to draw the image under a mapping.
At an MAA meeting (probably MathFest) I saw a presentation by someone who had students draw an answer in WebWork. In particular, the student had to draw the derivative of a function. If I recall correctly, there was a tolerance set so that the student didn't have to be exact in drawing.
I think this was an example based on a Flash Applet. I don't have a pointer to the problem, but I think Mike Gage probably knows.
Hi,
The problems Davide is referring to are the Cleveland State Problems. In the Library Browser, use the NPL (or OPL) Directory button to search by directory for CSUOhio. There certainly are examples under CSUOhio/appletDemonstation.
