This book promotes the experimental mathematics approach in the context of secondary mathematics curriculum by exploring mathematical models depending on parameters that were typically considered advanced in the pre-digital education era.
"This is a comprehensive, well-written, and meticulously organized text on computing technology for secondary mathematics teacher education." (Steven C. Althoen, zbMATH 1295.97001, 2014)
