Connors, Mary Ann; Snook, Kathleen G. – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Investigates the impact of the TI-89 hand-held Computer Algebra System (CAS) on student achievement in a first year college core calculus course. Analyzes data from an experimental study conducted at the United States Military Academy at West Point from 1998-2000. Results indicate that the TI-89 hand-held CAS experimental group attained a higher…

Keller, Brian; Russell, Chris; Thompson, Heather – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Reports on a study replicating and extending a previous study examining the effects of the TI-92 graphics calculator and calculus instruction on students' success in calculus. Finds that students using a TI-92 had significantly better performance on the final exam and overall course grade than students using other calculators, and student-centered…

Keller, Brian A.; Russell, Chris A. – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1997
Provides evidence of differences in students' ability to solve problems with and without a computer algebra system. Indicates that almost without exception, the TI-92 students were more successful at symbolically solving problems than comparison students. Observes improved performance on all three levels of problems: (1) directive computational;…
