A new study suggests the students who used dynamic geometry software were more successful in discovering new mathematical ideas than when they used static, paper-based diagrams. A new study co-written ...

• It is relatively easy to find math packages devised for college coursework and research that can be repurposed to do meaningful tasks in engineering. • Some kinds of academic software is flexible ...

This book provides an inquiry-based introduction to advanced Euclidean geometry. It utilizes dynamic geometry software, specifically GeoGebra, to explore the statements and proofs of many of the most ...

Focus on pattern recognition in math shifts emphasis from “what’s the answer?” to “how do you solve this problem?” As schools struggle to balance conceptual learning and recall of simple facts, a new ...

Mathematica is programmable, high-end math software with a steep learning curve. For those of us with more modest calculation requirements (and pocketbooks), Mathematica Calc-Center 3, based on the ...

For the second year in a row, a controversial $14.4 million federal study testing the effectiveness of reading and math software programs has found few significant learning differences between ...
