Algebra Textbook for Standard X
(Maharashtra Board)

Abhiram Ranade

(Draft)

This is a draft-in-progress for an internet based textbook for Standard X (Maharashtra Board) Algebra. The goals are

1. Interactivity: The text book should be interactive and have a good attractive graphics user interface which will be especially useful in teaching geometric concepts. This draft does not yet provide this feature. For a slight demonstration of interactivity see section 2.1.
2. Motivation of content: The text book should contain substantially more motivational material than current textbooks: relevance to science and engineering and day-to-day-life should be explained. The current draft has attempted to do this to some extent.
3. The text book should be accessible to bright students as well as those who are supposedly less proficient in mathematics. Interactivity and motivational material might make the book interesting to all classes of students, but perhaps some advanced material could also be placed.
4. The text book should be available in Marathi as well as English. In the final version this will be translated to Marathi.

This is a VERY PRELIMINARY DRAFT. Comments are very much appreciated.
