I have not personally used those notebooks for my classes, but I do
admire them. Each lesson is divided into three interactive parts,
with increasing involvement demanded of the student for each section.
Part of the beauty of this set up is that you can edit any lesson to
better fit your syllabus or your way of presenting ideas. And even if
you hate all the lessons, you can learn a lot about Mathematica code
from what the authors have done.
You can probably look it up from Wolfram's (maker of Mathematica) home
page. Otherwise, I think Addison-Wesley was (is?) the publisher, and
one of the three authors is Jerry Uhl. (My apologies to the other
authors for forgetting their names.)

(2) I'm using the computer lab next year (with Mathematica 3.0.1) to
help teach AP Calculus BC next year (for the first time). Please,
does anyone out there have any pearls of wisdom?
