Many of the methods used in algorithm analysis often involve mathematics at the calculus III level or higher. Most computer science undergraduate programs do not require analysis beyond calculus II. A course in algorithmic analysis and design or data structures can easily turn into a course in mathematical analysis if algorithmic analysis is covered in depth. Generating functions and asymptotic approximations alone can take up a good part of the semester. This paper describes ways in which a computer algebra system, in this case Maple, can be used to help with the teaching of analysis of algorithms
