I'm presenting twice at the Northwest Mathematics conference, once on computers in math, and the other on programming in math. Here are my resources from the day, which you are welcome to adapt and share (for non-commercial purposes) provided you give me attribution. Despite the titles, both of these presentations are focused on the use of computers in mathematics education, rather than the more general topic of computers in mathematics itself.
