Algebra, Trigonometry, & Mathematica (AT&M) is interactive
courseware that helps students learn precalculus by
doing mathematics instead of reading about it. The power and
flexibility of Mathematica enables the student to generate many
examples from one initial example and allows for individual
investigations until a given concept is fully understood. The student
is encouraged to ask "What if...?" and is empowered to find the
answer almost immediately.
AT&M can be used in any algebra, precalculus or trigonometry course
in a college or high-school setting. The authors have used AT&M as
the sole text in a five-credit course in college algebra and
trigonometry at Western Kentucky University for several years. The
students meet in a computer laboratory where traditional lecture
is replaced by individual assistance and guidance. AT&M is also used
by off-campus students in distance-learning courses. Additionally,
AT&M can be used by instructors as a supplemental enrichment source
in a traditional setting and by self-motivated individuals for
independent learning. AT&M is fully incorporated within the Help
Browser in Mathematica.
Algebra, Trigonometry, & Mathematica requires Mathematica 4 or 5 and is available for Windows and Macintosh OS 9.
