Mathematical software

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kortenkamp
Algorithms with DGS

Discrete mathematics is a topic that is ideally suited to modern mathematics teaching, as it can be used, for example, to promote the core competence of "modeling" that is required today. Among other things, I would like to show how the algorithms involved can be visualized with the help of dynamic geometry software, thus opening up paths to independent learning through discovery.

Prof. Dr. Wilfried Herget
Mathematics on its own terms - with and without a computer

Aren't the tasks in mathematics lessons usually geared towards "the" respective tool and the solution is narrowly focused? What happens when you open up the situation for independent work? Mathematics on your own terms - that is an offer and a challenge, for learners and teachers alike. Numerous examples will be presented and can be "experienced" and discussed from different perspectives - with and without a computer.
