Abstract:
-
Live Mathematical Documents play an essential role in the presentation
and investigation of mathematical topics. An essential step
in achieving the desired focus is the implementation of primitive
operations at the right level of abstraction for the topic at hand.
The published paper demonstrates one such special implementation
used to support the modelling of sequence construction and enumeration
via generating functions -- part of an introductory combinatorial course
at the University of Waterloo. It is constructed directly from a
Maple V
Release 4 Worksheet. (At the time of publishing, the mathactivation
for
these electronic proceedings were still based on Maple V Release 3, so most
of the examples are presently staticly.)
