Abstract

Unrestricted usage of the computer algebra system Maple was made available to many sections of undergraduate mathematics classes in 1985 as part of an on-going investigation into the uses of computers in mathematics education. The paper discusses some of the results of the experiment as it has proceeded so far, as well as directions for future work.
