Ask HN: Any interactive math tutorials that use a computational algebra system?

1 pointsehaveman2y ago1 comments

I'm a senior level programmer who recently became interested in furthering my math education.

I also just became aware of computational algebra systems like emmy: https://github.com/mentat-collective/emmy

My question is: is there an interactive math curriculum/textbook/etc that uses such a system to teach the math? I would find that a lot more engaging than learning math the old way!

There are interactive tutorials showing how to use the computer algebra system tool(s) -- generic list of symbolic computer algebra systems/libraries[0].

IMHO, bit easier to figure out which math topic(s) want to learn using a given computational algebra system (cas) base on intended applicable area of math[1]

few examples from search engine results:
