Abstract

We present the background and the rationale of a starting project, aimed at the development of a Virtual Reality assistant to Mathematics learning for prospective Engineers in High-tech., in particular the learning of multivariable Calculus. The Mathematics for which this development is intended is described briefly, together with the psychological and pedagogical elements of the project. What is Virtual Reality is explained and details are given about its application to the specific field.
