Pech, Pavel – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2005
Computer algebra methods based on results of commutative algebra like Groebner bases of ideals and elimination of variables make it possible to solve complex, elementary and non elementary problems of geometry, which are difficult to solve using a classical approach. Computer algebra methods permit the proof of geometric theorems, automatic…

Hora, Jaroslav; Pech, Pavel – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2005
Computing limits of functions is a traditional part of mathematical analysis which is very difficult for students. Now an algorithm for the elimination of quantifiers in the field of real numbers is implemented in the program Mathematica. This offers a non-traditional view on this classical theme.
