A BACK DOOR INTO CALCULUS REFORM*
Carol Scheftic · PRIMUS · 1993
This paper examines one of the roles of symbolic computing in the calculus reform movement. It uses examples from a couple of specific entry-level calculus topics to address the question, “If machines can compute the answers, what do students need to learn?” * Based on a presentation given at the Conference on the Teaching of Calculus held at Harvard University on 12–13 June 1992.
