Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Computer assisted learning, CAL, is a topic which has recently aroused considerable interest in this country. The British Government is currently spending some £2m pound on various projects which aim to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of using computers as a teaching aid in education. In this paper we shall be concerned with the theoretical background associated with the problem of teaching mathematics by means of CAL techniques. We shall look at several aspects of secondary school and early university mathematics and discuss the problems that arise.
