Peer reviewedHeid, M. Kathleen – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
During the first 12 weeks of an applied calculus course, two classes of college students studied calculus concepts using graphical and symbol-manipulation computer programs to perform routine manipulations. Three weeks were spent on skill development. Students showed better understanding of concepts and performed almost as well on routine skills.…

Peer reviewedNachmias, Rafi; Arcavi, Abraham – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
A nonconventional graphical way to represent functions (the Parallel Axes Representation) is discussed. A computerized environment designed to support the exploration of the representation of linear functions is described. The didactical potential of this representation is illustrated. (CW)
