Some Unexpected Results Using Computer Algebra Systems.
Alonso, Felix; Garcia, Alfonsa; Garcia, Francisco; Hoya, Sara; Rodriguez, Gerardo; de la Villa, Agustin
International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, v8 n3 p239-52 2001
Shows how teachers can often use unexpected outputs from Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) to reinforce concepts and to show students the importance of thinking about how they use the software and reflecting on their results. Presents different examples where DERIVE, MAPLE, or Mathematica does not work as expected and suggests how to use them as a pedagogical tool. (Author/MM)
