Peer reviewedNorris, Donald O. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1983
Discusses personal experiences in using microcomputers to teach differential equations and calculus, including programs written for and activities in a year-long calculus sequence called Calculus and Computers. Suggests that computers and their graphics capabilities be used to provide a mathematical environment in which students can interact and…

Peer reviewedMathews, John H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
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)

Peer reviewedHativa, Nira; Barall, Michael – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Describes the principles underlying computer programs designed to improve undergraduate calculus instruction. The programs were produced for teacher use on a single microcomputer for when there are not enough microcomputers available to allow students to have access to them. (JN)

Pehkonen, Erkki, Ed. – 1995
This report contains papers from the Nordic Conference on Mathematics Teaching (NORMA-94). The first three papers are plenary talks aimed at giving the participants an opportunity to form a coherent view of the new theories of learning. The themes of the paper sessions addressed a variety of topics on different levels from elementary school to…

Cornu, Bernard, Ed.; Ralston, Anthony, Ed. – 1992
In 1985 the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) published the first edition of a book of studies on the topic of the influence of computers on mathematics and the teaching of mathematics. This document is an updated version of that book and includes five articles from the 1985 ICMI conference at Strasbourg, France; reports…
