- I seem to remember seeing a note somewhere in this forum a while ago, or in
- more general literature on symbolic computing, from someone who said that he
- was working on building a program that could work as an intelligent assistant
- for a (beginning) REDUCE user, i.e. a help system that would not just be a
- collection of canned documentation and examples of computations. Or perhaps
- this information referred to Macsyma and not REDUCE.
-
- I am now interested in tracking down any work (finished or continuing) on
- applications of this kind, for REDUCE or any other symbolic mathematical
- system. Applications connected to intelligent tutoring systems (maybe I should
- have put that last phrase inside quotation marks) or computer-aided learning
- are also of interest.
-
- Any reports of activities out there will be gratefully received.
