The UTMOST (Undergraduate Teaching in Mathematics with Open Software and Textbooks) Project is funded by the National Science Foundation. The focus of UTMOST is to understand how students and faculty actually use textbooks in undergraduate mathematics courses and to use that understanding to produce textbooks that are more effective in promoting student learning. The major components of the project involve education research, resource development, dissemination, and evaluation.

The Sage Cell Repository is under active development jointly with the NSF project “Curated Courses.” The repository is a highly structured catalog of reusable Sage cells that can be easily embedded into online documents. Each Sage cell will be tagged with important attributes to make it easy for instructors, authors, and anyone using Sage to find examples of Sage code appropriate for their needs.
