Good work, seems to me. Bravo! Your invitation to preload Python seems strategic. I'll risk adding VPython when it's just me projecting, but that's a lot to asks of people skeptical of the whole idea of computers, still stuck in that "calculators rule!" mindset. It's easy to turn VPython into an XY plotter (even if Z axis is always implicit), for showing parabolas, other polynomials, any types with a sensible self.draw() method. Anyway, it helps to know I'm not the only gnu math teacher out there. I wish you success in recruiting more talent into our ranks. :-D Kirby _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
