Stephens, Larry J.; Konvalina, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1999
Compares two groups of students in an intermediate algebra course and two groups of students in a college algebra course with regard to the use/non-use of computer algebra software in the courses. Indicates that in both courses, students using the software outperformed the students not using the software on a common final exam. (Author/ASK)

Rodriguez, Jose – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
A number of ideas in complexity theory are reviewed and then it is shown that all known classes of complexity of really unmanageable problems have instances in education. These are common problems in the teaching of every branch of science, knowledge and human culture. Selected pedagogic problems classify as NP-harsh problems, i.e. NP-hard…
