"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."
