Geese Are Swans and Swans Are Geese or Selecting Unripe Fruits Instead of Ripe Fruits
Srinivasan, V. K.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v33 n6 p941-949 Nov 2002
Procedural evaluations of limits of functions provide invariably better understanding of the limits than the approximations using a calculator. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that better understanding can be promoted if mathematical understanding precedes the impulse to use calculators. The note clarifies the stages when the calculator can be used to enhance the understanding. (Contains 1 figure.)
