Abstract

Recent developments in computer technology are providing support for undergraduates mathematics teaching with a new learning environment. This paper presents an approach on teaching mathematics in computer environments. The role of computers in mathematics teaching has increased due to the importance of visualization in mathematics teaching. These developments make the accessing of structured information sources much easier. The wide range application of computer technology for teaching mathematics accommodates a myriad of learning styles so that teachers can create learning environments to meet different students´ needs. Computers enable teachers to make teaching and learning more efficient, more applicable to real world problems, and more accessible to students with different backgrounds.
