8A. Using Microsoft Word to Publish Mathematics on the Web (A Commercial Demonstration) , Bob Mathews, Sales Manager, K-12 Education, Design Science, Inc., Fredericksburg, TX: Publishing mathematics on the Web is often looked at in terms of what will be available in the future. The future is now, and there are several impressive methods that can be used for publishing mathematical documents online. This session, appropriate for the high school educator and beyond, will look at tools most educators already have available, and consider how to use these tools to publish lessons, assignments, and tutorials for the Web. The presenter will be demonstrating a range of products - primarily Microsoft Equation Editor, Math Type, WebEQ, and IBM Techexplorer, with Microsoft Word 97.

8B. Don't Settle For Doing It by Hand --- ISETL For Discrete Math and Modern Algebra , Joe Kincaid, Peru State College, Peru, NE: ISETL is an Interactive SET Language whose commands and syntax are designed to mimic mathematical notation. Not only that, but it's free! This makes ISETL a natural choice for discrete mathematics and modern algebra. The speaker will introduce ISETL and relate some experiences using ISETL to teach mathematics.
Level of technical expertise expected of students and of the EXPO audience: expected to know how to start (and work with) a Windows program.
