ABSTRACT

In this paper, we shall use the software, Scientific Workplace, to demonstrate how we can interact with functions which are defined in Maple. We also use examples from Calculus to illustrate how we can teach live mathematics and communicate with others more effectively and efficiently without learning the syntax.
