Abstract

This paper explores the benefits and possible problems that may be encountered in mathematical classrooms using mathematical software. In addition to exploring different types of mathematical software, the paper also focuses on two mathematical tools which have been translated into Croatian and are in widespread use in Croatian mathematics classrooms. The advantages and disadvantages of both tools are reviewed, along with the software's capabilities, from the viewpoints of both foreign and Croatian scientists who researched the effect that such tools had on mathematics students. Lastly, a comparison between the two mathematical tools in use in the Republic of Croatia is presented, featuring both technical details as well as purely practical ones.
