Abstract

It has been an exciting experience introducing major changes to the teaching of the Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) class at my school. The recommended teaching methodology was enhanced by the use of technology in a lab setting (Mathematica) in conjunction with cooperative learning [1]. Working with Mathematica has given me the opportunity to put its unique potential to practice while exploring other avenues that increase its capabilities in interfacing with other environments. In this paper, I share with my colleagues my experience in working with Mathematica and some information regarding how it communicates (using MathLink and other tools) with certain well-established computing environments like C++ and FORTRAN.
