Geometer's Sketchpad Tutorials
Below are MS Word documents which will guide you through a tutorial for Geometer's Sketchpad GSP 4.01. There will be hard copies of these files left in the computer lab RB 452 for you to use. Please do not remove these copies from RB 452. In order to complete these tutorials you will need to open Geometer's Sketchpad which is found under the Programs menu (in RB 452) under the name GSP 4.01. Note: Future versions of GSP may have a higher version number than 4.01. If you have questions, feel free to contact Suzi Kerlin, math instructor and creator of these materials, at 285-8649 or in her office RB 330.
Fathom Tutorial
Below is an MS Word document which will guide you through a tutorial for Fathom, a statistical software package. There will be hard copies of this file left in RB 451 (small room next to the computer lab) for you to use. You will also need to use the textbook Workshop Statistics, Discovery with Data and Fathom. Key College Publishing, which has been left in RB 451 for you to use. Please do not remove any materials from RB 451. In order to complete these tutorials you will need to open Geometer's Sketchpad which is found under the Programs menu (in RB 452) under the name GSP 4.01.
MATLAB Tutorial
