What does CA stand for?

The papers are presented according to the topics of the conference workshops: information systems and information technologies, high-performance computing and information visualization, data storage devices and systems, computer algebra systems and applications, computer graphics and virtual reality, computational geometry and applications, and business intelligence.

The reason why these are better than other graphing calculators is because they come equipped with a very easy to use computer algebra system (CAS) which gives you the ability to manipulate algebraic expressions.

The HP 50g has a feature of Computer Algebra System (CAS), powerful in solving analytical problems and in manipulating symbolic expressions.

However, using a computer algebra system is quicker and easier.

Moreover, there is substantial evidence that Computer Algebra System (CAS) used for symbolic calculations lead to conceptual understanding.

Once their work was complete, students entered solutions into WeBWorK through a text window using standard computer algebra software syntax (see Figure 1).

According to Stacey, Kendal and Pierce (2002) students using computer algebra systems (CAS) have the opportunity to fulfil their mathematical potential with less computational skill.

Since graphing calculators without computer algebra system (CAS) capabilities are often featured in lower level mathematics courses taken by populations of mostly non-science majors with the potential of weaker attitudes toward mathematics, the search was limited to non-CAS graphing calculators.
