Abstract
This chapter argues that an abstract, application-independent, psychologically-neutral level, which we call Computational Mathetics, is needed as a basis for Intelligent Tutoring Systems research. The aims and scope of Computational Mathetics are described by analogy with Computational Linguistics. Some preliminary examples of work within Computational Mathetics are outlined.
