The recent diffusion of new information technologies naturally raised some discussions about the effect of Computer Algebra on the “ how and what” of teaching mathematics. The present paper provides a Computer Algebra application consisting of an interactive package introducing students to the study of probability and statistics. Even if the package has been realized using Mathematica 3.0, the students do not need to know a programming language. Black boxes philosophy has been merged with step by step solutions to the exercises enabling students to learn the process underlying the solutions.

Abstract
The recent diffusion of new information technologies naturally raised some discussions about the effect of Computer Algebra on the “ how and what” of teaching mathematics. The present paper provides a Computer Algebra application consisting of an interactive package introducing students to the study of probability and statistics. Even if the package has been realized using Mathematica 3.0, the students do not need to know a programming language. Black boxes philosophy has been merged with step by step solutions to the exercises enabling students to learn the process underlying the solutions.File in questo prodotto:
