Description
Many topics in the history of mathematics can be used both as a motication and as an introduction to concepts that seem formidable to the uninitiated. The task of conveying these ideas becaomse a lot easier (and much more successful) using Mathematica. In this paper we present the way we taught two classical topics of mathematics using Mathematica's functions and packages to enhance the student's understanding.
