Résumé : |
DERIVE is a mathematical computer program. It processes algebraic variables, expressions,
equations, functions, vectors, and matrices like a scientific calculator processes floating point
numbers. DERIVE can perform numeric and symbolic computations, algebra, trigonometry,
calculus, and plot graphs in 2 and 3 dimensions. The main strength of DERIVE are symbolic
algebra and powerful graphics. It is an excellent tool for doing and applying mathematics, for
documenting mathematical work, and for teaching and learning mathematics.
For a teacher and student, DERIVE is the ideal tool for supporting the teaching and the learning of
mathematics. By providing numeric, algebraic, and graphic capabilities together with seamless
integration of these, DERIVE enables new approaches in teaching, learning, and understanding
mathematics. You will find that many topics can be treated more efficiently and effectively than
by using traditional methods. Many problems that require extensive and laborious training at
school can be solved with a single keystroke using DERIVE: It eliminates the drudgery of
performing long mathematical calculations. While DERIVE takes the burden of doing the
mechanical/algorithmic parts of solving a problem, students can concentrate on the
mathematical meaning of concepts. Instead of teaching and learning boring technical skills,
teachers and students can concentrate on the exciting and useful techniques of problem solving.
It has proven to be highly supportive for the cognitive development of advanced mathematical
concepts.
For an engineer, DERIVE is the ideal tool for fast and effective access to numerous mathematical
operations and functions and for visualizing problems and their solutions in various ways. If you
use DERIVE for your everyday mathematical work, you will find it a tireless, powerful, and
knowledgeable mathematical assistant that is easy to use.
This book is for learning how to use DERIVE 5 by private study. Install DERIVE 5 on your
computer. Starting with the first chapter, you will learn step by step how to use the program.
Follow all instructions and examples. The text leads you through several mathematical topics
that are used for learning how to solve mathematical problems with DERIVE. Many of the
examples also provide ideas for using DERIVE during teaching; some of them are explained in
more detail in “Educator’s footnotes.” Paragraphs starting with the symbol give instructions
about what you should do on your computer. Hundreds of screen dumps ensure that you will not
get lost on this journey.
2 Introduction
By solving typical mathematical high school level problems, you will learn to handle DERIVE 5 as
much as necessary for everyday use and for teaching or learning mathematics. You will learn
how to use the major commands, keys, and functions. At the end of each chapter you will find a
summary of the features learned in that chapter. The Quick Reference Guide at the end of the
book is a summary of commands, keys, functions, and utility files, which is organized by tasks.
The index at the end is useful if you need to locate a particular portion of the text.
All you need to run DERIVE 5 is a PC compatible computer with WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS 98, or
WINDOWS NT.
It is assumed that you know how to use computers and the WINDOWS operating system. The
screen shots in this book were produced from DERIVE running on WINDOWS NT. If you are running
DERIVE on WINDOWS 95 or 98, some of the screens may appear slightly different.
This book introduces all features and functions that are required for routine use of DERIVE 5.
There is more functionality than can be described here. This book is not a reference manual for
DERIVE. A complete reference to all features is included with the software as online help. Some
of the chapters give examples of how to use the online help.
We plan to write additional texts on DERIVE 5.
