Abstract
During the Fall Semester of 1989 I presented a junior/senior mathematics course on projective geometry at my university, with a syllabus organized along quite traditional lines. I used a Macintosh II computer and the Mathematica symbolic computation program, a product of Wolfram Research, Inc. The lectures were delivered primarily from the console, using a screen attached to the computer and projected by an overhead projector. The students were expected to do their homework on a computer, and the final examination was a project on a topic selected individually by each student, again, to be done on the computer.
