Integration of maple mathematical software in the teaching-learning process of triple integrals in the 2nd year at thigher institute of education sciences of cabinda

This article presents the results of a research carried out in the 2nd year students at ISCED in Cabinda, on the teaching-learning process of triple integrals with the integration of Maple Mathematical Software. Triple integrals are one of the most difficult topics of Mathematical Analysis to master by most students of this Educational institution, as they do not have a deep mastery of immediate integrals rules, integration methods, Fubini's theorem, lack of inversion of integrationlimits mastery, identification of these limits from the graphical representation, graphic sketch of functions of one and several variables, transformation of Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical and spherical coordinates, calculation of triple integrals, non-use of Information and Communication Technologies, among others. These difficulties were identified through a questionnaire and interviews carried out on 5 teachers and 143 students, whose collected data were processed by the SPSS statistical software. The statistic data obtained allowed the elaboration of a didactic strategy to favor the teaching-learning process of the triple integrals with the integration of the Mathematical Software in order to contribute to the reduction of students' difficulties. It was validated by teachers Masters and Doctors in Mathematics.
