Anderson, Malcolm; Bloom, Lyn; Mueller, Ute; Pedler, Pender – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1999
Considers some changes that the use of graphics calculators impose on the assessment of calculus and mathematical modeling at the undergraduate level. Suggests some of the ways in which the assessment of mathematical tasks can be modified as the mechanics of calculation become routine and questions of analysis and interpretation assume greater…

Monaghan, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2000
Algebraic calculators with symbolic manipulation capabilities are tools in some classrooms for 14-19 year olds, and their use in learning and teaching mathematics is likely to increase over time. Explains the reports of government-initiated working groups that consider the implications of their use in academic mathematics examinations for…
