This project will support instrumentation in the Applied Mathematical Sciences Department of an open-admissions college. A classroom will be equipped with twenty-five networked IBM-PC (or IBM compatible) microcomputers and a large scale projection screen for demonstration purposes. The equipment will be used in two junior level statistics courses which are required of business majors. Students will encounter daily assigned classroom problems dealing with decision-making situations which require statistical analysis and interpretation of computer output. Solutions will be worked out on computers (two students per machine), as in a lab. Mathematically-shy business students will have a greater appreciation of statistical concepts and their applications to real world problems, more experience in dealing with the popular IBM-PC machinery and increased interest in pursuing optional senior level math courses in the area of the decision sciences. Business students, who represent fifty-eight percent of UH-Downtown's 1986 graduating class, will receive enhanced training in quantitative methods. Ultimately, other faculty will be encouraged to use this instructional lab for courses in computer science, numerical methods and calculus.

该项目将支持开放招生学院应用数学科学系的仪器仪表。 一间教室将配备二十五台联网的IBM-PC（或IBM兼容）微型计算机和一个用于演示目的的大型投影屏幕。 该设备将用于商科专业必修的两门初级统计课程。 学生将遇到日常分配的课堂问题，涉及决策情况，需要对计算机输出进行统计分析和解释。 解决方案将在计算机上制定（每台机器两名学生），就像在实验室一样。 数学上害羞的商科学生将更加了解统计概念及其在现实世界问题中的应用，在处理流行的 IBM-PC 机器方面拥有更多经验，并且对选修决策科学领域的高级数学课程更加感兴趣。 商科学生占 UH-Downtown 1986 届毕业生的 58%，他们将接受定量方法方面的强化培训。 最终，我们将鼓励其他教师使用这个教学实验室来教授计算机科学、数值方法和微积分课程。
