Abstract

The abstract character of mathematical concepts can often discourage students who need to assimilate new materials. In order to help them overcome this problem, we developed a set of interactive teaching tool packages (ITTPs) consisting of theoretical modules and applications. A pseudo-holographic display was used for visualizing 3D objects and the outcome of modifications of the parameters inside mathematical formulas. One of the starting ideas was to develop the software using open-source libraries capable of manipulating 3D models like Java 3D. We extended the concept to work inside a web browser as well, in order to make the applications available on mobile devices and eliminate the need to install any other software.
