Purpose of the Conference

In 1992 ACDCA (the Austrian Center for Didactics of Computer Algebra) started a conference series which has become a driving force in bringing technology, in particular computer algebra systems (CAS), into the classroom.

The conference series comprised two strands: the ACDCA Summer Academies, which were more oriented towards didactical questions connected with the use of technology for teaching and learning and the Int’l Derive (& TI-89/92) Conferences, which were more oriented towards concrete applications of these and similar tools for teaching in schools and at universities. In summer 2002 for the first time the two events will be held at the same time at the same place.

The conference program will consist of keynote lectures, contributed presentations, and workshops. Other formats will be considered if suggested by participants.
