ABSTRACT

In this article, we found several examples during the process of integrating Maple into teaching the calculus sequence that will be useful to the other teachers. These examples illustrated how to use Maple as a powerful tool to enhance student 's abilities to explore, conceptualize, and develop problem solving skills at our small liberal arts college.
