TCMS-Tools |
TCMS-Tools is a suite of Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, and Discrete math software tools designed to support student investigation and problem solving in the Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics text.
TCMS-Tools includes four families of software:
Algebra —Algebra tools include a spreadsheet and a computer algebra system (CAS) that produces tables and graphs of functions, manipulates algebraic expressions, and solves equations and inequalities.
Geometry —Geometry tools include an interactive drawing tool for constructing, measuring, manipulating, and transforming geometric figures, and a set of custom apps for studying geometric models in 2D and 3D.
Statistics —Statistics tools include tools for graphic
display and analysis of univariate and bivariate data, simulation of probabilistic
situations, and mathematical modeling of quantitative relationships.
Software includes pre-loaded data sets appearing in the student text.
Discrete Mathematics—Discrete Math tools include tools for constructing, manipulating, and analyzing discrete mathematical models and their representations as adjacency matrices, and custom apps for voting methods and codes.
This suite of tools is built upon several open source projects. See the TCMS-Tools license information.
