Abstract
Drawing is not proving. For a long time, this argument has been used to avoid the use of visualisation in mathematics. Nevertheless, a number of proofs, concepts, and ideas are easier to understand with the help of a small drawing. In this chapter, the authors show that visualisation in mathematics is helpful not only to illustrate but also to create ideas, and this at all levels.

A computer algebra system (CAS) is a software program that facilitates symbolic mathematics. The core functionality of a CAS is manipulation of mathematical expressions in symbolic form. The symbolic manipulations supported typically include: simplification to the smallest possible expression, substitution of symbolic, partial and total differentiation, symbolic constrained and unconstrained global optimization,solution of linear and some non-linear equations over various domains, solution of some differential and difference equations, taking some limits, some indefinite and definite integration, including multidimensional integrals, arbitrary-precision numeric operations etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_algebra_system
