Computers have changed the ways that mathematics are taught and
learned. Is your institution taking advantage of what today's
technology offers?With contributions from researchers and
practitioners alike, Using Information Technology in Mathematics
Education explores the impact of the computer on the curriculum,
the teaching and learning of mathematics, and the professional
development of teachers, both pre-service and in-service.As editor
James Tooke states: "The connection between mathematics and the
computer is obvious. Elementary notions of mathematics gave rise to
the computer; advanced notions gave it a more powerful state. As
the computer advanced, it expanded mathematics, allowing the
creation of further branches of the field; for instance, fractal
geometry had no reality until the advent of high-speed
computers."In its look at the relationship between mathematics, the
computer, and mathematics education, Using Information Technology
in Mathematics Education: addresses the computer as a vehicle for
teaching calculus at Texas A&M includes reports from several
programs that have utilized the computer when teaching mathematics
at lower levels of content than calculus such as intermediate
algebra and geometry examines the computer's role in student
learning probability discusses the use of computers in the
professional development of teachers explores ways to use computers
to reduce mathematics anxietyUsing Information Technology in
Mathematics Education examines the history and impact of computers
in mathematics and mathematics education--from the early, crude
computer-assisted instruction efforts through LOGO software for
elementary schools, through MAPLE for the university, tothe
Web-based calculus courses now being offered by outstanding
universities. Use it to facilitate learning and teacher growth in
your institution!
