... A computer algebra system (CAS) is a tool assisted system which is capable of performing symbolic computation in addition to numeric computation. For an introduction to CAS one can refer [1] and references therein. Soft wares such as MATHEMATICA can be easily employed to assist in this regard. ...

... This provides a good back ground to adopt CAS for teaching algebra in the fourth semester and onwards. Here we reproduce an example from [1] to show that how knowledge of MATHEMATICA can help the students to develop an understanding of the complicated process of determining the relative maximum and minimum of a polynomial and the interval on which it varies. ...

Communicating abstract algebra is a difficult task. Same is the case for the process of learning abstract algebra. The objective of this study is to review the existing B. Sc. (two years) and M. Sc. (two years) programs and the teaching methods for these programs. The system is now replaced by four years BS program. The BS program is different in nature needing a different method for teaching. This study suggests some techniques to improve methods of teaching and communication so that a better understanding of abstract algebra can be developed among the students in this system. It is recommended to adopt computer algebra system (CAS) for a better understanding and involvement other students in the process of learning 0. Introduction The traditional tools for teaching and learning algebra include text books, lecture notes, lectures, assignments & exams. The existing tools with their entire shortcoming are commonly used and recognized by the teaching community for teaching Mathematics. In the following we will discuss some aids to enhance the impact of these existing tools so that the same tools can be utilized to develop a better understanding of the subject in the students. We will proceed further by stressing on the lectures only. In our view a good lecture must be clear, systematic, complete and precise. However, despite all it qualities a lecture is a bad teaching instrument if it is dull. A good lecture contributes to assist the students at all the stages of acquiring knowledge. Thus just lecturing in any manner and demonstrating any material may hardly be of any use to the students. Thus it is essential for any prospective teacher to understand and know that how students learn Mathematics? Students learn Mathematics through intuition, induction, contrast,

... Winds that blow usually bring along clouds of dust and people prefer staying indoors in the daytime while the breeze at night is pleasant and clean. In recent years, Hyderabad has seen spills of heavy downpour [19]. Table 3 gives a comparison of the annual linear trends of Karachi and Hyderabad (in °C/decade temperature series (1961 -2007). ...

This study suggests that how the techniques of teaching abstract algebra at undergraduate level can be improved. With the help of examples it proposes that a better understanding of abstract algebra can be developed by adopting computer algebra system (CAS). It also, proposes a framework which describes some objectives of teaching algebra and suggests some of the hardware and software to be utilized.
