Learning Mathematics by Designing, Programming, and Investigating with Interactive, Dynamic Computer-Based Objects

Neil Marshall; Chantal Buteau

International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education Vol. 21, No. 2 (2014) pp. 49–64

As part of their undergraduate mathematics curriculum, students at Brock University learn to create and use computer-based tools with dynamic, visual interfaces, called Exploratory Objects, developed for the purpose of conducting pure or applied...

Integrating Computer Algebra Systems in Post-Secondary Mathematics Education: Preliminary Results of a Literature Review

Chantal Buteau; Neil Marshall; Daniel Jarvis; Zsolt Lavicza

International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education Vol. 17, No. 2 (2010) pp. 57–68

We present results of a literature review pilot study (326 papers) regarding the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in tertiary mathematics education. Several themes that have emerged from the review are discussed: diverse uses of CAS, benefits...
