Advanced educational technologies for mathematics and science : NATO Advanced Research Workshop : Revised papers
David L. Ferguson (Editor)
This book is the outgrowth of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop, held in Milton Keynes (United Kingdom) in the summer of 1990. Many of these participants commented that the workshop was one of the more productive and exciting workshops that they had attended. Participants wrote papers prior to the workshop.
