Critical issues of improving computer algebra systems
(Belgrade : Megatrend, 2009)
In order to improve Computer Algebra System (CAS), there is a need not only for better
built-in features to be implemented, but also for better conditions for creating and using user-defined
functions to be provided. By ...
Simple spreadsheet modeling by first-year business undergraduate students: Difficulties in the transition from real world problem statement to mathematical model
(Roskilde University, Denmark: Department of Science, Systems and Models, 2009)
The study used a sample of first-year business undergraduate students
who developed simple (deterministic & non-optimization) models with
Microsoft Excel. The students were required to choose business of their choice
