This textbook for mathematicians, scientists and engineers covers a variety of mathematical topics, from basic algebra to differential equations, and explains how solutions can be found using the computer algebra package DERIVE. It adopts a step-by-step approach, making it suitable for a wide range of teaching methods used from A Level upwards, and particularly suitable for open learning courses on mathematical methods. It places a strong emphasis on the graphical capabilities of DERIVE, and demonstrates how to "visualize" mathematics using the more advanced graphics and split windows. It includes an advanced section on numerical methods.
