Abstract

  • 14:00〜14:50 “STACK: From Introduction to Advanced Application”, YOSHITOMI, Kentaro (Osaka Metropolitan University)
    STACK, an online assessment system integrated with Moodle, is widely used globally, particularly in Nordic and African countries. Although its adoption in Japan is gradually increasing, the number of users is still limited. In this presentation, I will provide an introduction to STACK, followed by various examples of question development and their practical applications in the classroom.
  • 15:10〜16:00 “Visualization of alternating group of degree 5 using GeoGebra”, TAKAHASHI Tadashi (Hagoromo University of International Studies)
    A regular dodecahedron has 20 vertices, and each vertex is connected to three other vertices by three edges. The set of transformations that superimpose a regular dodecahedron onto another regular dodecahedron is an alternating group of degree 5.
    We will visualize operations on the alternating group of degree 5 as rotations of a three-dimensional dodecahedron, and look how the permutation group of solutions to a quintic equation is not a product of cyclic groups by using GeoGebra.
  • 16:20〜17:10 “Running Risa/Asir with Docker: Pitfalls and Possible Solutions”, NAKANO, Ryunosuke (Hokkaido University)
    In this talk, I report on building a Docker-based environment for the computer algebra system Risa/Asir. I present build errors and dependency issues encountered in the setup process, and explain their causes and possible solutions. I also compare a lightweight minimal configuration with a full-featured one, presenting this as a practical example of reproducible research environment construction.
