An analysis of undergraduate core material in the light of hand-held computer algebra systems

Abstract

This study investigates how hand-held computer algebra systems may be used to complete undergraduate mathematics course work tasks. Core university mathematics courses are examined in detail using a question classification scheme that describes the style of a question, rather than the syllabus topic. The majority of the tasks examined could be completed directly using the device. Surreptitious use of the hand-held device would subvert the intentions of the course designer.
