Abstract
This paper gives a brief review of on-line graphical computer systems for mathematics and the advantages gained by such systems particulary in the area of approximation problems. This is followed by a description of PEG, an on-line graphical system for the solution of least squares approximation problems. Finally a discussion is given of other areas associated with approximation theory in which interactive graphics may be used to advantage.
