Mathematics Education Through Technology: Precalculus, Calculus, and More

This book caters to both prospective and current mathematics educators at the school and university levels, along with their students and anyone intrigued by the possibilities of integrating software into mathematics education.

Mathematics, being a unified science, is best comprehended when its cohesive nature is emphasized and demonstrated to students. Educational software assumes a pivotal role in achieving this pedagogical goal.

The book outlines the author's methodology in utilizing educational software for developing and applying computer models, grounded in a thorough analysis of the subject matter. This approach is vividly illustrated through examples employing a non-profit authoring program (VisuMatica) provided with the book, enabling users to:

• Visualize formal mathematical concepts and their interrelations in theorems,
• Effortlessly explore and uncover features through a user-friendly interface,
• Construct models of the studied material without the need for specialized syntax or programming skills.

Through the guidance of this book, students will discover mathematics as clear, visible, friendly, and enjoyable.

The author exemplifies this approach by focusing on the functional line of mathematics, spanning from school basics to advanced university courses in higher mathematics. Importantly, the assimilated ideas and techniques are readily applicable to teaching and learning other areas of mathematics.
