First we review some didactical principles of teaching mathematics in general and write about the advantages of the modularization for CAS in referring to the constructivistic view of learning. Then we deal with our own development, a CAS-based collection of programs for teaching Newton's method for the calculation of roots of a real function. Included is the discussion of domains of attraction and chaotic behaviour of the iterations. We summarize our teaching experiences using CAS.application/pdfdiscrete dynamical systemCASmultiple representationmodularizationconstructivistic view of learningNewton’s methoddomains of attractionchaotic behaviourfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessCsaba Sárvári and Mihály Klincsikhttps://doi.org/10.5485/TMCS.2003.0026Teaching Mathematics and Computer Science21Teach.
