dc.description.abstract | Computer algebra systems are being used more and more frequently in mathematics courses of all
levels. For instructors to use these systems effectively, they need to have an idea of how the
systems work. To illuminate the mechanics, the implementation of a simple computer algebra
system will be described. Further, if instructors understand the methods used by computers, they
may find the ideas involved useful for human students even without computers. A lesson plan
will be described that is aimed at students with little or no algebra background followed by a
discussion of the author’s experience using this lesson in the classroom. | |
