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. Software of general purpose (PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) is often publicly available and familiar to most students. It can be applied in the study of mathematics, although in the vast majority of cases, it does not support in-depth learning of the subject. Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) (Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB, etc.) is software with the ability to create and manipulate mathematical expressions, execute some tasks, and present results in a user-friendly way. Interactive Geometry Software (IGS)/Dynamic Geometry Environment (DGE) (Cabri, The Geometer’s Sketchpad, Cinderella, Geometry Expression, GeoGebra, etc.) are computer programs that allow us to create mainly geometric constructions and interactively and dynamically manipulate them. Software, specially designed for teaching mathematics (Autograph, applets, and similar modules), is naturally better than others for this purpose.
