Other available software

The students experimented with several notable resources:

• MathProbe - a CD-ROM based mathematics dictionary with interactive activities illustrating the concepts being defined
• Logo - a well-known programming environment which emphasizes basic logic command control
• Sophisticated on-line applets from university research groups such as the Geometry Center

With exposure to a broad spectrum of the available resources, the students developed a mature point of reference for their later exposure to the OpenMath applets.
