Abstract

This lecture will examine an effect of mathematical technology on the learning and teaching of mathematics. The result on international comparative surveys on the use of technology in education and achievement provide the current pictures on the use and effect of mathematical technology on its learning and teaching. In some “high achieved” Asian countries, rapidly disseminated technology seems not to change mathematics classrooms. On the other hand, several countries outside Asia have achieved significant changes in styles of learning and achievement of mathematics. A story of chess champion “Garry Kasparov” after his historical loss against IBM program “Deep Blue” will be referred to lead us to reexamine a relationship between mathematical intelligence of human being and mathematics technology in the field of education.
