COMPUTERS WITH CALCULUS AT DARTMOUTH
Richard H. Crowell, Reese T. Prosser · PRIMUS · 1991
This note reports on an experiment done recently at Dartmouth College, in which the standard entry-level freshmen class in calculus was given in a new format making regular use of the Macintosh personal computer. The new format is described in some detail. The performance on a final examination of the experimental class is compared with the performance on the same examination of the corresponding non-experimental class of the previous year. Based on these data, a few tentative conclusions on the value of the computer in the calculus curriculum are suggested.
