Abstract

[For thousands of years, mastering numerical and symbolic calculation techniques was essential to be able to do mathematics. By 1990, that requirement was eliminated by the introduction of digital technologies that can perform any formal procedure. Those technologies revolutionized mathematical praxis. For the professionals, doing and using mathematics today is a very different experience from any time in the past. This chapter describes how today’s mathematicians go about their daily work, and looks at the challenges of changing educational practice to prepare today’s students to enter this new mathematical world.]
