Computer Algebra Systems as the Mathematics Teaching Tool
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, feasibility of computer algebra systems, which are more commonly used in science and engineering fields especially in mathematics and physics, is examined in terms of teaching mathematics. Primarily common features of general purpose computer algebra systems and the symbolic computation theory forming the basis of these systems are briefly mentioned. Under the light of various researches stressing the importance of computers in the education process of mathematics, as well as computer algebra systems, various software whose main function was not teaching mathematics was evaluated according to their usage in terms of teaching mathematics and as a result, past usages of computer algebra systems in the field of mathematics teaching, their present situation and their future positions were discussed.

Methodological aspects of Mathematics using Computer Algebra Systems
We investigate a possible application of computer algebra system as a tool in learning and teaching mathematics. There are analyzed the technical and didactic aspects of some mathematical expressions using different systems. The main purpose is to help pupils, students, teachers in better understanding of different computer algebra systems. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of these syst...
متن کاملON ALGEBRAIC AND COALGEBRAIC CATEGORIES OF VARIETY-BASED TOPOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Motivated by the recent study on categorical properties of latticevalued topology, the paper considers a generalization of the notion of topological system introduced by S. Vickers, providing an algebraic and a coalgebraic category of the new structures. As a result, the nature of the category TopSys of S. Vickers gets clari ed, and a metatheorem is stated, claiming that (latticevalu...
متن کاملp-adic Shearlets
The field $Q_{p}$ of $p$-adic numbers is defined as the completion of the field of the rational numbers $Q$ with respect to the $p$-adic norm $|.|_{p}$. In this paper, we study the continuous and discrete $p-$adic shearlet systems on $L^{2}(Q_{p}^{2})$. We also suggest discrete $p-$adic shearlet frames. Several examples are provided.
متن کاملComputer Algebra Systems: A basic tool for teaching Mathematics in Engineering
The main goal of this paper is to reflect on the habitual uses that nowadays are given to CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) in the teaching of Mathematics at the degrees of Engineering. The traditional use of computer in mathematical teaching for Engineers is normally reduced to the resolution of some kind of theoretical-practical exercises where the students use a specific mathematical software. ...
متن کاملMuPAD for the Classroom a Discusion on Using Computer Algebra Systems in Teaching Mathematics
It is well known that Computer Algebra Systems (CAS), for instance Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD or Derive, provide computational power to solve many mathematical problems faster and more e¢ ciently than using the old paper-and-pencil methods. The availability of such software and its ability to deal with most undergraduate mathematics problems cannot be ignored. A mathematics educator cannot stay ...
