ABSTRACT

In this paper, we discuss the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) and Statistical software to investigate various theorems in Mathematics and Statistics. Specifically, we'll present examples to demonstrate the use of Maple and Geometry Exploration Software (GES) to validate the expected results of theorems in calculus and geometry.
