Title of presentation:	The application of CAS in teaching calculus
Abstract:
The presentation gives information on the experience with the usage of CAS, specifically in MAPLE , in teaching of mathematical analysis in teacher training in the Czech Republic. New software products and information technologies bring quite new problems, but also new challenges especially in didactics and teachers' training. The aim of the computer-aided instruction of mathematics is to develop the feeling of the students for estimation of the solution, their ability to resolve a non-standard task, to develop their functional thinking. It is necessary to focus preparation of the students on the fact that they should not search for the solution to the problems according to learnt algorithms, into which they have incorporated standardized solutions, but that they should orientate themselves in the problem, model, express their opinions and defend them.
