Below are listed buttons to access exploratories
for each of the topical areas in the course. You will perform
some of these during the class. Others may be assigned as home
or school activities. For these you will be asked to discuss with
the class on the results obtained by yourself or your students.
You are also encouraged to share with the class any exploratories
you do that are not listed here. Sharing with others is an important
