In this article we present a review of the state of the art in mathematical e-learning and some personal experiences on this area developed during the last eleven years at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), a completely online university located in Spain. The article discusses important aspects related to online mathematics courses offered in…

This article presents a study in which applications were integrated in the Multivariable Calculus course at the Technion in the framework of supplementary tutorials. The purpose of the study was to test the opportunity of extending the conventional curriculum by optional applied problem-solving activities and get initial evidence on the possible…

The computer programs require the students to show that they understand the calculations by processing one set of data correctly themselves before the remaining sets are computed for them. (MP)

Designed to supplement conventional classes, computer packages have been developed for atomic and molecular orbitals, the Boltzmann distribution law, and quantum theory and spectroscopy. (MP)

A British project in engineering science is described. Computer assisted instruction packages are being developed to provide students with experience with models or systems of models related to lecture material on electrical, electronic, nuclear, and mechanical engineering. (SD)

Two computer packages are described which augment laboratory experiments in which the effect of random variables on population processes can be explored. (MP)

This article discusses the pros and cons of CAI (computer assisted instruction) as compared to "computer as laboratory" (simulation, modelling, problem-solving, calculation, data bases). (DT)

The author raises questions concerning the cost-effectiveness of the use of computers in education, the use of computers in individualizing instruction, and the value of such techniques as computer simulation of experiments. (SD)

Described is a laboratory program at Hope College, Holland, Michigan. Examples of laboratory exercises are provided. (RH)

This paper describes the nature and use of a computer-assisted sequence of instruction in college-level mathematics. Units in differential and integral calculus and geometry are described. The authors claim that students acquire increased confidence in their knowledge and problem-solving ability. (SD)

By using a computer to simulate experimental situations, engineering laboratory courses can provide more ambitious experiments as well as experiments demanding more calculations. (SD)

The potentials of computer systems designed to help students in learning mathematics are explored, and some barriers to implementation are discussed. (MP)
