Peer reviewedMathews, John H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Illustrated is the use of computer algebra software to assist in both a computational and theoretical way to develop the underlying theory of polynomials and the partial fraction decomposition of a rational function. Background information and a discussion of theoretical considerations are provided. (KR)

Peer reviewedMathews, John H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
This article illustrates that mathematical theory can be incorporated into the process to solve differential equations by a computer algebra system, muMATH. After an introduction to functions of muMATH, several short programs for enhancing the capabilities of the system are discussed. Listed are six references. (YP)
