Teaching Mathematics with DERIVE, Josef Böhm (Ed)

The main contributions from the 1992 Krems conference on DERIVE didactics. Contains papers by top European educationalists using DERIVE to teach mathematics (particularly to 12-18 year olds). Although the papers refer specifically to DERIVE, they are in the main generalisable to use of other computer algebra systems. One third of the book is in the German language.

298 pages, A4, 1993, 13.95 Pounds Sterling.
