Abstract
The author discusses how computer algebra has been used in mathematics teaching at Cornell University. He begins by illustrating some of the commands available in computer algebra software. He reviews the experience at Cornell with MuMath and other computer algebra systems, including MACSYMA, and describes plans for the future. He also discusses student and faculty reactions to the use of computers in this way. He closes with comments about the future of teaching engineering mathematics at Cornell in light of the above experience and new developments in computer technology and computer support for teaching.<>
