About this person
Engel was one of the first to recognize the impact of electronic calculators and computers on mathematics teaching. He viewed that the focus should shift from learning how to apply algorithms, which could now be done by the machine, to learning how to build and test algorithms. He was also early to see the value of using computers to draw students into an interest and understanding of mathematics.
