 David C J Bowers: WWTQ - A Framework for Structured Investigational Activities using DERIVE
The intention is that if the investigational activities are completed (either in a timetabled computer lab session or in directed private study) in advance of the formal presentation of that topic by the teacher, then the results and methods will already have been internalised by the students.
DERIVE allows a number of attempts to be tried out quickly and accurately until the relationship between the various coefficients becomes clear, encouraging the students to formalise their own algorithms for later class discussion.
DERIVE has opened up the possibilities here by allowing the user to experiment and providing feedback in areas such as algebra and calculus which hitherto have often been passively accepted.

 Arc Length Contest
The student must compute the arc length for each of her three functions, and the winner of the contest is the one who has the function with the smallest arc length on the unit interval.
Derive, the computer algebra system we use in class, gives a "dubious accuracy" warning and a value of 1.97361 for the arc length using the default precision!
However, the graph of this function is concave down as suggested by Figure 3, a behavior that can be confirmed by computing the second derivative.

This is done in such a way that the behaviour of the refined system may be inferred compositionally from the behaviour of the original system and from the behaviour of the processes substituted for actions.
The Pentium computer chip's division algorithm relies on a table from which five entries were inadvertently omitted, with the result that 1738 single precision dividend-divisor pairs yield relative errors whose most significant bit is uniformly distributed from the 14th to the 23rd (least significant) bit.
We also show that the models form a hierarchy: the reactive model is derivable from the generative model by abstraction from the relative probabilities of different actions, and the generative model is derivable from the stratified model by abstraction from the purely probabilistic branching structure.

TI89 uses a partial implementation of the Derive computer algebra system, which besides a couple sophisticated algorithm does however use a lot of heuristic methods.
Note that significant algorithms used by researchers in the early days of computer algebra were written for machine --large for their time (1968!) that had less memory than you can buy on a Palm Pilot III.
Since a simple "derivative divides" integration program probably does 80-90% of freshman calculus textbook problems, and (especially the typical, partial) Risch integration algorithm does far less with much more code, and produces unreadable answers, you might be unhappy with it.

Below are links for pages specifically focusing on the four computer algebra systems used at UNF.
Numerical Computations: The programs are used to final numerical approximations of solutions, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, etc. Often problems that cannot be solved explicitly can be solved numerically, and often times (especially in applications) a numerical answer is all that is necessary.
Symbolic Computations: Most of the CAS's have the ability to do symbolic manipulation of expressions: reducing, expanding, simplifying, derivatives, antiderivatives, etc. They can provide the exact answer to an equation (as opposed to a decimal approximation), and they can express your results in terms of a wide variety of previously defined functions.

By "exact symbolic" we mean computation with polynomials whose coefficients are integers (of any size), rational numbers, or finite fields, as opposed to coefficients that are "floats" of a certain precision.
In this paper we compare these small systems to each other and to two of the large systems (Maple and Magma) on a set of problems involving exact symbolic computation with polynomials and matrices.
Most of the actual code used in the benchmarks of the various systems is here also.
