Conference

ComputerSupported Mathematical Education
(Didactic, Mathematical, and Software Technologic Aspects)

August, 23-25, 1999
Castle of Hagenberg, Johannes Kepler University, Austria.

(Organized by ACDCA  Austrian Center for Didactics of Computer Algebra and RISC  Research Institute for Symbolic Computation)

Scope:
This conference is a forum for papers on computersupported mathematical education and emphasizes research and experimental work that tries to integrate the didactic, mathematical, and software technologic aspect of the subject.

The conference is the fifth in a sequence of conferences on computersupported mathematical education initiated by ACDCA (Krems 1992, Krems 1993, Honolulu 1995, Kungsbacka 1997).

The aim of these conferences is twofold:
* The enormous possibilities of the new computerbased media on the improvement and innovation of teaching and learning mathematics should be promoted.
* The enormous expertise of teachers and students about the math teaching and learning process should be fully integrated into the development of new computerbased media.

The fifth conference in the series, prefers contributions that consider both aims in a balanced way.

Typical topics in the scope of the conference:

* Report about successful classroom experiments using mathematical software systems.

* The impact of math system design on mathematical thinking and problem solving.

* New ways of math teaching and learning on the basis of the new media.

* The use of network software for organizing new forms of math teaching and studying.

* Interactive and individualized generation of math learning material by the student.

* New algorithmic mathematics particularly suitable for computerbased learning.

* Improvements in the design of math software systems based on didactical experience.

* New software tools for facilitating the development of math teaching material.

* New software tools for interaction of math teachers and students via internet.

* New software for  computersupported math tutoring and evaluation.

* Examples of successful, new computerbased math texts, lectures, training units etc.

All these subjects are considered for both the secondary and the university level.
