You can use a Computer Algebra System (CAS) such as MAPLE to enhance instruction in probability and statistics. Change parameters of various probability models to illustrate graphically their significance. Make figures that are static in a book come alive using animation. Use the integration or summation capabilities of a CAS to solve interesting problems. Simulate random phenomena to illustrate theoretical concepts. Let a CAS find and graph the p.d.f.'s of order statistics. Use a CAS to simulate the first m(only) out of norder statistics. Involve the students.
