Teaching with Macsyma 2.2 for Windows

چکیده
‘New Macsyma 2.2 Math Software understands plain English’. ‘We believe Macsyma 2.2 can halve the time and energy required to solve problems with math software’ (Richard Petti, President, Macsyma Inc.) This article looks at some of these advertising claims and considers the potential for such features as an aid in the teaching of mathematics to mathematicians, engineers and scientists. In a short article such as this, it is impossible to comment fully on all the mathematical and visual capabilities of the software, but a few illustrative examples are considered in an attempt to give a hint of the power of the software and its possibilities as a teaching tool.

RFC 578 Using MIT - MATHLAB MACSYMA
This paper describes an experiment in non-trivial automated resource sharing between dissimilar systems. The goal of the experiment was to interface the MUDDLE system at MIT-DMS (Host 70.) to the MACSYMA system at MIT-Mathlab (Host 198.), in such a manner that the MUDDLEuser at MIT-DMS is not required to know anything about the ARPANET, Mathlab, or even MACSYMA. In fact, the user need not be aw...
