Samenvatting:

Modern software tools like Maple have the potential to alter radically the way mathematics is taught, learned, and done. I had intended to put before my audience examples extracted from my Maple based curriculum to entice a wider acceptance ofthe benefits of making a computer algebra system become the basis of a revised calculus syllabus.



This text is designed for the undergraduate maths curriculum. It teaches calculus itself, and the computer algebra system Maple, through a series of tutorials. These consist of conceptual learning activities and exploratory interaction with the computer. Fewer than 90 Maple commands are required to do all the calculus activities in the book, thus making it a useful text for learning Maple basics. The techniques illustrated in this book have been tested in classrooms in the USA and Europe.
