Abstract
It is the intent of this paper to describe a computer education course now available for pre-and in-service secondary school mathematics teachers at the Pennsylvania State University. The development of the present syllabus has been evolutionary and extends back over a period of years, predating the IFIP Outline Guides (4), but at the same time speaking to many of the same considerations.
