Abstract

We present our program to incorporate Computer Algebra Systems in teaching of Mathematics (College Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra & Geometry) at St. George’s University (Grenada, West Indies). Modern Computer Algebra Systems (CAS), such as Mathematica, Maple, Maxima, etc. are very powerful, have good graphics facilities and can be used for teaching as well as research. We have selected Maxima as a base CAS to use.
