Collaboratively developing OER Python textbooks.

I finished a first crude draft of a book devoted mostly to Mathematics

Hi Jeff, In relation to your call on
I would be delighted to see this mailing list be used for collaboration and discussion around OER learning materials for Python.
Perhaps we could start making it more formally, in building a learning Python environment in the context on teaching and learning math at the elementary/high school level. It seems that you already have a nice vigorous start up with your colleagues and students which can bring this collaboration to an higher level. revising the CSP openbook project [ http://www.openbookproject.net/books/StudentCSP/index.html ]. I also wrote to Sebastian (cc this email to him) who has good ideas on the same vein. Hopefully he might have some time to share on getting something done in this endeavor.
Let me know when you feel you have something ready for testing.
It would be nice to hear recommendations for additions and modifications to the content of the book and to the provided codes for each book. At the moment I have not thought about the best way to add suggested modifications to the respective book, directly by everyone, but taken care that the project derive somewhere else. Currently, I am revising the write up of the Prealgebra book and trying to rewrite the codes in a more pythonic fashion, to add a chapter on coding using pure python style to gain speed in code execution.

I notice the worries about dragons expressed here: http://www.openbookproject.net/books/StudentCSP/CSPRepeatNumbers/range.html The type versus function distinction is too big an idea to get into here. Skulpt is 2.x flavored for sure. We notice that in Codesters as well. This looks like an excellent resource regardless and I plan on sharing a link to this book in class tonight, in part just to encourage a culture wherein collaboration on teaching texts is more the norm than the exception. Good work. On another topic (but related to co-authoring teaching materials): When do teachers think it's appropriate to start in with LaTeX? Given it works in Jupyter Notebooks between $s, without downloading anything fancy, I'm thinking no later than 9th grade? That's assuming the school is using Jupyter Notebooks in 9th grade. I'd hate to imagine a school that isn't (just kidding, I know that most don't, no need to imagine). I'm far from being a master of LaTeX myself, however I plan to introduce it to a class of middle-to-high schoolers later this month, when I teach Martian Math. Kirby

Hi Sergio, Seems to me the most effective way of " building a learning Python environment in the context on teaching and learning math at the elementary/high school level" would be to connect with existing efforts and contribute to them. As a full time teacher, I'm in a great place to test out materials with the group of people who matter most in all this, students / learners, but I have only limited time for contributing to the development process, so I need to keep my goals modest. The action is mainly taking place on http://jupyter.org, so the thing for me to do is learn this platform and join this community, and then contribute classroom ready resources to it.

Certainly, Jeff, Wes, Jupyter offer and interesting environment to develop teaching and learning materials, and for much more. And I have used it: 1.- http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/rojassergio/Aprendiendo-a-programar-en-Py thon-con-mi-computador/blob/master/Instalando_python.ipynb 2.- http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/rojassergio/Learning-Scipy/blob/master/Ot her_IPythonNotes/Numerical_Computing_via_IPython.ipynb 3.- https://github.com/rojassergio/Aprendiendo-a-programar-en-Python-con-mi-comp utador/blob/master/Jornastec2017_SergioRojas_static.pdf What bothers me is compatibility within Jupyter versions. I am not sure where Jupyther development is taking into account users of the platform. As I prefer Latex for writing, many things that use to work when I first wrote some of my notebooks does not work properly in newer versions. An example is shown in the second notebook listed above. Scrolling down to the set of equations defining the "Atractor de Lorenz" (just after input cell In [6]:), the shown box should not be there. Only the brace enclosing the equations is suppose to appear, as it did when I first wrote that notebook. Also many labels of plots using Latex does not work anymore when using Jupyter to display Matplotlib plots. So, writing a large project does not seems to be a good idea to do so in Jupyter. Even Python compatibility between versions should be considered at front when starting writing large Python programming projects (I still can compile and run fortran 77 code I wrote back in the 90's).

Perhaps we could start making it more formally, in building a

math at the elementary/high school level.
It seems that you already have a nice vigorous start up with your
colleagues and students which can bring this collaboration to an higher level.

It would be nice to hear recommendations for additions and modifications
to the content of the book and to the provided codes for each book.
At the moment I have not thought about the best way to add suggested
modifications to the respective book, directly by everyone, but
taken care that the project derive somewhere else.
Currently, I am revising the write up of the Prealgebra book
and trying to rewrite the codes in a more pythonic fashion, to add
a chapter on coding using pure python style to gain speed in code
execution.

I'm working on remixing a wonderful textbook written for use with the College Board's AP CS Principles course:

I've got the project on Gitlab at:

Certainly, Jeff, Wes, Jupyter offer and interesting environment to develop teaching and learning materials, and for much more. And I have used it:

What bothers me is compatibility within Jupyter versions. I am not sure where Jupyther development is taking into account users of the platform.
https://github.com/jupyter/help https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat/issues https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat/issues
As I prefer Latex for writing, many things that use to work when I first wrote some of my notebooks does not work properly in newer versions. An example is shown in the second notebook listed above. Scrolling down to the set of equations defining the "Atractor de Lorenz" (just after input cell In [6]:), the shown box should not be there. Only the brace enclosing the equations is suppose to appear, as it did when I first wrote that notebook. Also many labels of plots using Latex does not work anymore when using Jupyter to display Matplotlib plots.
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax
So, writing a large project does not seems to be a good idea to do so in Jupyter.
It's possible to import from .ipynb and run an .ipynb with e.g. pytest; but importlib with plain .py/c/o is faster. Even Python compatibility between versions should be
considered at front when starting writing large Python programming projects (I still can compile and run fortran 77 code I wrote back in the 90's).
