 | | MuMATH, together with the increasing availability of microcomputers, soon made possible the first experiments using CAS in calculus instruction (Heid, 1984; Freese, Lounesto, & Stegenga,1986; Hawker, 1986). |
 | | Heid (1984, 1988), evaluating the muMATH course that she designed and taught, audiotaped nearly all experimental class sessions, observed several meetings of the traditional class, interviewed students from both classes, and made extensive notes on meetings with students outside of class. |
 | | Cheryl Hawker (1986) noted that the achievement levels of the two groups in her study were similar, even though the students using muMATH had scored significantly lower than the students in the standard course on an algebra test given at the beginning of the semester. |
