Titre de la communication :	Using TI symbolic calculator, Derive and DPGraph to ease comprehension
Résumé de la communication :
We are both students in electrical engineering at ETS since 2 years. We had the opportunity to use various tools such as Texas Instruments symbolic calculator, Derive CAS and DPGraph in order to improve the comprehension of some mathematical concepts. During this presentation, we will show you our interest in using these tools from a student's point of view. We will show the usefulness of these tools to solve concrete problems. Starting with the TI-92+, we will do a simple simulation for better understanding, then a graphical resolution of the problem. Moreover, this handheld calculator enables us to use mathematical software features without having to use a computer. Then we will present an example in which we use Derive as well as DPGraph. With Derive, we will show the clear organization and development of the problem, while DPGraph offers a good rendering of three-dimensional solids.
