Mathlets are Java applets for teaching Mathematics. At least that is what I thought when I first encountered them in JOMA. Looks as if there is more to to Mathlets than Java. Here are some useful resources.
My first encounter with Mathlets from a JOMA article. This got me a bit curious. So I Googled Mathlets. Here are a few interesting links.
This is based on a discussion in Python in Education discussion group. Hugh Stewart from Australia pointed out his efforts to develop a Python program for generating palindromic numbers. From the links he provided in the forum, here are some snippets
Palindromic numbers receive most attention in the realm of recreational mathematics. A typical problem asks for numbers that possess a certain property and are palindromic. For instance,
- the palindromic primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, … (sequence A002385 in OEIS)
- the palindromic perfect squares are 0, 1, 4, 9, 121, 484, 676, 10201, 12321, …
