Using Mathematica as a teaching tool: A Digital Image Processing Experience

Digital Image Processing is a course taught in a wide variety of educational programs. Due to its visual nature, the usage of modern technology such as projectors is virtually mandatory. In this paper the benefits of using Computer Algebra Software in the classroom are studied. More specifically Wolfram Mathematica is used as a replacement of traditional Powerpoint presentations, as it contains slideshow functionality, and its Dynamic[] functionality enables for quick creation of applets.
