At the University at Albany we are now teaching mathematics in a
classroom equipped with Amiga computers and Maple software. The
students interact between blackboard and computer instruction
simultaneously. So far, Maple seems to be quite a success.
We are using an old version (4.1) and are looking forward to
an Amiga port of Maple V.         Herb
