Integration of Microcomputer-based Instruction into Business Statistics Courses

该项目将支持应用数学中的仪器 一所公开招生学院的科学系。 教室将是 配备25台联网IBM-PC（或IBM兼容） 微型计算机和大型投影屏幕演示 目的 该设备将用于两个初级统计 商务专业的必修课程。 学生将遇到 每天分配的课堂问题处理决策 需要统计分析和解释的情况 计算机输出。 解决方案将在计算机上制定（两个 学生每台机器），就像在实验室一样。 数学上害羞的生意 学生将对统计概念有更好的理解， 他们对真实的世界问题的应用，更多的处理经验， 随着流行的IBM-PC机器和越来越多的兴趣追求 决策科学领域的可选高级数学课程。 商科学生，谁代表百分之五十八的UH-Downtown的 1986年毕业班，将接受定量强化训练 方法. 最终，其他教师将被鼓励使用这一点 计算机科学课程的教学实验室，数值方法和 微积分

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.
