Abstract

The experience gained in teaching an experimental computer calculus course using the symbolic manipulation system MACSYMA is described. Interesting course material is presented to show how symbolic computation on computer can facilitate the teaching and learning of calculus. Some other college mathematics topics that could benefit from symbolic systems are indicated. The advantages and difficulties of such an approach are discussed.
