  "The investigation of the integration of Computer Algebra Systems into 
university-level mathematics teaching

  Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are increasingly becoming components of 
university-level mathematics teaching. However, little is known about 
the extent of CAS use and the factors that influence its integration 
into the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. In my talk, I shall 
share my findings on the CAS-related beliefs and teaching strategies of 
22 mathematicians in three countries, Hungary, UK, and US. In addition, 
I shall discuss the design and development of a large-scale, 
international, web-based survey study, which will further investigate 
university mathematics lecturers? conceptions of CAS-assisted teaching 
and the current use of CAS in tertiary mathematics."
