Abstract

Although the end of this century is bringing up a lot of improvements in computer technology, there are no applications for teaching Mathematics with enough level of interactivity with the student. In this paper we are describing how an authoring tool, MathEdu, based on the Programming by demonstration paradigm and on Mathematica¯, enables the construction of sets of exercises in Mathematics making use of symbolic calculations in a simple way. MathEdu is also designed to solve exercises generated from the teacher”s examples interactively with the student.
