Use of the computer program "Integrate Using Definition" can help students develop understanding of integral. Several applications of the program are discussed. (MNS)

Three activities with Knuth functions are discussed and illustrated, with sample computer programs listed. (MNS)

Describes how the computer algebra system Mathematica can be used to enhance the teaching of the topics of sequences and series. Examines its capabilities to find exact, approximate, and graphically generated approximate solutions to problems from these topics and to understand proofs about sequences. (MDH)

An overview is provided of De Anza College's use of computerized instruction in its mathematics courses. After reviewing the ways in which computer technology is changing math instruction, the paper looks at the use of computers in several course sequences. The instructional model for the algebra sequence is based on a large group format of…
