3Demos: A collaborative visual calculus system

Presented by: Nikolas Nyby

I am currently a software developer at Columbia University's Center for Teaching and Learning. I've been enamored by the free software world from an early age. I believe that the only path forward for technology exists outside of proprietary interests. I love learning how things work, and I'm a lifelong Emacs stan.

Description:

I'd like to share a fun piece of software I've been working on. A collaboration between Columbia University's Center for Teaching and Learning, and professor Drew Youngren, we've put together a 3D visual calculus environment for classroom use. Experimenting and playing around is the best way to learn new things, and we hope to facilitate that with this free software we've created.

This talk was presented at LibrePlanet.

libreplanet.org

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

gnu.org/not-open-source

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
