Description for The Didactical Challenge of Symbolic Calculators. Turning a Computational Device into a Mathematical Instrument.
Hardback. Computational technologies are transforming the professional practice of mathematics, but they have had little impact on school mathematics. This text develops a theorized analysis of why this is and what can be done to address it. It examines the particular case of symbolic calculators in secondary education. Editor(s): Guin, Dominique; Ruthven, Kenneth; Trouche, Luc. Series: Mathematics Education Library. Num Pages: 308 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 631.
A significant driver of recent growth in the use of mathematics in the professions has been the support brought by new technologies. Not only has this facilitated the application of established methods of mathematical and statistical analysis but it has stimulated the development of innovative approaches. These changes have produced a marked evolution in the professional practice of mathematics, an evolution which has not yet provoked a corresponding adaptation in mathematical education, particularly at school level. In particular, although calculators -- first arithmetic and scientific, then graphic, now symbolic -- have been found well suited in many respects to the ... Read more
