Abstract
This paper describes an expeirment to determine the effect of the use of a computer algebra system in the school classroom. A standard computer algebra package, muMath, was enhanced for use in the classroom and a comparison between it and conventional teaching methods was performed. The conclusion from the experiment indicates that such a system is a useful teaching aid in the classroom.
