Dear colleague or addressee,

We kindly ask you to participate in our current review on the use of
Computer Algebra Systems (CAS: for example Mathematica, Maple, Matlab,
MathCad, MuPad - no simulations, JAVA applets etc.) in University Physics
Teaching. You can find
an online questionnaire by pointing your browser to
http://www.icto.vu.nl/mechanica/. It contains 24 questions and will take
about 5 minutes to fill in. If you have questions regarding the webform,
please contact s.draaijer@icto.vu.nl.

This questionnaire is intended for those who have hands-on experience with
the use of CAS in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering or Chemistry Teaching
at University level. If you do not have such experience personally, we
kindly ask you to forward this mail to a relevant colleague. Please feel
also free to forward this mail to other interested colleagues in Physics,
Mathematics, Engineering or Chemistry.

The purpose of the review is to improve CAS supported teaching by learning
from each other's experience. If you participate in this review, you will
receive the full report promptly upon completion.

We would also highly appreciate receiving (by e-mail or ordinary mail) any
evaluation reports, which you are allowed to provide. Confidential reports
are of considerable interest to us as background information, but will not
be used for the compilation of present review.

The e-mail addresses we collect and the data acquired in this review will
be used only for the purpose of this review and will be treated strictly
confidentially.
