The advent of the computer has served as a catalyst to the turmoil in mathematics and mathematics education during the past decade. Mathematicians have run the gamut from 1950 when only a few innovative souls ventured to use computers to explore solutions of mathematical relationships to the present time when a majority of those who make extensive use of mathematics do so by means of a computer. Debates over whether the computer influences the essence of mathematics would not be difficult to locate, but there is no debating that the use of mathematics, now and in the future, is directly related to computer technology.
