520 |a In this paper are described some features of the intensive use of math software, primarily DERIVE, in the context of modeling in an introductory university course in differential equations. Different aspects are detailed: changes in the curriculum that included not only course contents, but also the sequence of introduction to various topics and methodologies. For example, the use of software at the beginning of the course followed a black box strategy, in order to emphasize mathematical modeling and the discussion of theory's central problems. Also covered is the enrichment of discussion about classic problems; using computer algebra systems (CAS) potentialities to demonstrate properties without the necessities of investing excessive time in technical details; avoiding long and boring calculations; design and redesign of materials that attempt to guarantee success of information technology integration; combined use of several software packages; and finally, feedback from students and assessment. In addition, examples are presented to demonstrate the support material's utility for high school calculus. (Contains 19 references.) (Author/YDS)
