Computer Aided Instruction for Business Calculus in an International Liberal
   Arts College

In this paper we present a Computer Aided Instruction project that was
conducted at the American College of Thessaloniki, Greece. Using a formal
controlled experiment, we assess the efficiency of a computer based designed
course  (Laboratory setting, use of MathCad electronic notes specifically
prepared for the course, Web Based system for dissemination of information
etc.) in enhancing the understanding of important mathematical concepts, in
improving overall performance and in making mathematics more interesting and
attractive for students. The assessment of the experiment is based on both
statistical hypothesis testing and analysis of qualitative data (perception
questionnaires, etc.)
