Seminar: Computer Algebra System in Math Education

On April 16, 2025, Dr. Abdulmajid Mohammed delivered an insightful seminar on the application of the Computer Algebra System (CAS) in the context of engineering mathematics and math education.

Dr. Mohammed demonstrated how symbolic computation significantly enhanced students' conceptual understanding, problem-solving abilities, and overall engagement with mathematical content. A case study involving first-year engineering students illustrated the substantial pedagogical benefits of integrating CAS into coursework, showcasing improvements in comprehension, attitudes, motivation, and interactive learning.

The session also covered effective instructional strategies and considerations for incorporating CAS tools into math education, particularly in engineering disciplines. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of innovative teaching methods in mathematics.
