Abstract	COACH is an activity-based, open computer environment for learning and doing mathematics, science, and technology in an inquiry approach, developed at the AMSTEL Institute of the University of Amsterdam. It offers a versatile set of integrated tools for data collection, data analysis, modelling and simulation, and for multimedia authoring of activities. In this paper, the authors present the STOLE concept that underpins the design and implementation of systems like Coach. It is an example of how members from the physics education research community converged on tools for doing investigative work and achieved an integration of tools. Special attention is paid to the mathematical requirements of such a learning environment and to the computer support of various representations of one and the same phenomenon or scientific concept. The authors discuss a complicating factors in the implementation of an integrated learning environment for mathematics and science, namely that mathematical concepts are not always used in the same way. Differences between the use of variables, functions, and graphs in mathematics and physics are briefly discussed, and consequences for the design of a general-purpose learning environment are addressed. The papers in this issue are enhanced versions of the presentations given at the Second Computer Algebra and Dynamic Geometry Systems in Mathematics Education (CADGME) conference at the University of Linz, Austria, in July 2009.
