Abstract :
The paper presents the use of Maple as a multimedia tool in classrooms, in particular, in mathematics and related science classes for undergraduate students. Mathematical computations and manipulations can be extensive and tedious for students in solving large and complex problems. We employ interactive Maple sessions in many classrooms such as in calculus, applications of abstract algebra, combinatorial, and linear algebra to solve for solutions in either numeric form or symbolic form. With explanation of the computational process and time saving involved, students find the integration of this technology into regular lectures make a significant improvement in their learning process.
