Goals Of The Computer Initiative
-
To enhance the students' understanding of mathematical concepts;
-
To increase the students' problem solving capabilities.
It is believed that access to computational resources
-
allows students to concentrate on fundamental concepts by relegating the
tedious work to computers
-
allows students to focus on problem solving strategies instead of the computation
-
allows consideration of more realistic and difficult problems which perhaps
could not be done by hand
-
allows students to geometrical aspects of the problem
-
provides students experience with powerful problem solving tools.
