Calculus Workshops and Conferences

该提案是一个规划项目，将举行每月系列 为期两天的微积分会议和讲习班， 大学、社区学院和高中微积分教师 --以及工业代表。 这项工作将由 Shair Ahmad教授是一位非常能干和有成就的 数学家 它将包括数学教员从 迈阿密大学、戴德县社区学院和戴德县 公立学校。 研讨会将集中讨论计算机的作用 计算器，教科书，与其他学科的相关性，概念 理解，并制定强调当前的练习 技术. 讨论将由小团体领导， 准备个人熟悉现有的文献， 科目 将鼓励参与者进行类似的 在自己的机构中进行讨论。

The proposal is for a planning project that will hold a monthly series of two-day conferences and workshops on calculus to be attended by universities, community colleges, and high school calculus instructors -- as well as industrial representatives. The effort will be headed by Professor Shair Ahmad, an extremely able and accomplished mathematician. It will include mathematics faculty members from the University of Miami, Dade County Community College and the Dade County Public Schools. The seminars will concentrate on the role of computers and calculators, textbooks, relevance to other disciplines, conceptual understanding, and developing exercises that stress current day technology. The discussions will be led by small groups of well- prepared individuals familiar with the existing literature on the subjects.
