BOLIVAR, Mo. – Southwest Baptist University Professor of Mathematics and Department Chair Dr. Kevin Hopkins recently presented at the 24th International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics in Orlando, Fla. The title of his presentation was “Calculus Animations with Geogebra.”
“Geogebra” is free, web-based software that does dynamic geometry and graphing. The dynamic feature of the software allows for animations that can illustrate a variety of topics in calculus. The presentation showed some of the animations Dr. Hopkins has used in calculus and featured instructions on how to create such animations.
