Abstract: Presented is webComputing – a general framework of mathematically oriented services including remote access to hardware and software resources for mathematical computations, and web interface to dynamic interactive computations and visualization in a diversity of contexts: mathematical research and engineering, computer-aided mathematical/technical education and distance learning. webComputing builds on the innovative webMathematica technology connecting technical computing system Mathematica to a web server and providing tools for building dynamic and interactive web-interface to Mathematica-based functionality. Discussed are the conception and some of the major components of webComputing service: Scientific Visualization, Domain- Specific Computations, Interactive Education, and Authoring of Interactive Pages.

Keywords: web-access, mathematical user-interfaces, web computations, mathematical active learning.

ACM Classification Keywords: F.1.2 Modes of Computation: interactive computation, online computation; G.4 Mathematical Software: user interfaces; K.3.1 Computer Use in Education: distance learning.
