Principles

• Better motivate people and enrich the thought process by more realistic and interesting examples.
• Do visualizations and study situations that are much harder to do by hand.
• Use computers for routine algebra and calculations so we can spend more time on the ideas.
• In trying to reach and stimulate students we usually do more than theorem and proof. Applications using technology are another way to do this.
• Activities that involve student will have much greater impact than demonstrations.
• Bring things to life!
