Can Maple Help in Teaching Calculus with Limited Time and Staff?
Scott R. Fulton · Birkhäuser Boston eBooks · 1994
This paper describes our experiences incorportating Maple into a calculus course with limited time and staff. Our approach to teaching the basics of Maple and its use in lectures and take-home projects are described. Student reactions are summarized and compared to those at another institution. We conclude that our low-key approach can have a positive impact onthe course without radical changes in the course format or substantial increases in contact hours or staffing.
