Periodically I see queries like:
"does anybody use software package X for teaching subject Y"
or
"are there any written reports about how to use a CAS for teaching"
etc.
At least for the case of Maple, I've added information to our
collection of Maple html pages about teaching with Maple and
conducting Maple training. The information is slightly MIT-centric,
but not too much. The teaching articles listed all have the
following kind of focus:
"this is how I used Maple to teach diffeqs to my students"
but *NOT*
"this is how I use Maple to solve diffeqs"
ie: this is *not* a compilation of how-to articles or research findings.
Pedagogical application and experience are the criteria for inclusion.
I haven't yet folded in the few relevant items from my list of Maple books
(eg: "Calculus Labs with Maple" is an obvious thing to list with articles
about teaching calculus with Maple), but I'll get to that over time.
Interested readers of the pages are welcome to notify me of other
(Maple-related) materials suitable for inclusion.
