Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education

This is the web site for Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, an open, international organisation for those interested in the use of computer algebra software in mathematics education.

Goals and history

CAME was originally founded at ICME-8 in Seville in July 1996.

CAME's goals are:

• to facilitate the dissemination and exchange of information on research and development in the use of computer algebra in mathematics education;
• to facilitate access to international expertise in the use of computer algebra in mathematics education;
• to promote the study of the use of computer algebra in mathematics education.

CAME's principle activity is a two-yearly Symposium: the first was held in Israel, 1999; the second in The Netherlands, 2001; the third in France, 2003; the fourth in the USA, 2005; and the fifth in Hungary, 2007. CAME6 will be held in Belgrade, Serbia, 16 and 17 July 2009, coinciding with the 33rd Psychology of Mathematics Education Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, 19-24 July.
