We consider some key issues in the use of computer software in Numerical Analysis teaching. By first examining the role of the computer in education, we consider how the teaching of numerical analysis is enhanced through the introduction of computer software. Practical issues such as programming language requirements and sources of numerical software are reviewed. We also consider the different ways in which textbooks and software have been combined to provide a single teaching tool. The potential for interaction between symbolic and numerical computation is also considered and one particular symbolic algebra package is briefly reviewed. Another mode of software usage within the teaching framework is that of interactive environments and, here, we concentrate on two well-known packages, MATLAB [50] and CLAM [34]. Finally we present the experiences of some Numerical Analysis teachers as they outline individual approaches to efficient use of software in their respective syllabi.
