Kitahara, Kiyoshi; Abe, Takayuki; Kaneko, Masataka; Yamashita, Satoshi; Takato, Setsuo – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2010
Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are equipped with rich facilities to show graphics, so the use of CAS to show 3D-graphics on screen is a popular tool for mathematics education. However, showing 3D-graphics in mass printed materials is a different story, since the clarity and preciseness of figures tend to be lost. To fill this gap, we developed…

Problem Solving Using Microcomputers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
It is argued that microcomputer technology has evolved to the stage that it should be routinely used by mathematics students at all levels. It is shown how the use of microcomputers can change the way problems are solved. Computer-generated graphics are highlighted. (PK)

Function Plotters for Secondary Math Teachers. A MicroSIFT Quarterly Report.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Weaver, Dave; And Others – 1987
This report examines mathematical graphing utilities or function plotters for use in introductory algebra classes of more advanced courses. Each product selected for inclusion in this report is able to construct the graph of a given equation on the screen and serves as a utility which may be used by the student for an open-ended exploration of a…
