Abstract
This paper discusses the components and implementation and the use of a WWW learning environment, i.e. a microworld for the mathematical sciences. Existing (RTF, LaTeX) lecture notes are converted into HTML documents and hypertext links are generated automatically into them. In addition to the text, the hypertext courses contain a database of concepts, problems, examples with hints and interactive exercises. A computer algebra system is used to generate and randomise exercises and to check the students' answers. Animations and video clips are used to clarify mathematical ideas. E-mail, bulletin boards and videoconferencing software are available on the system to enhance interaction between the teacher and the distance learners.
