The main objective of this project is to create a computational environment in which calculus students will use the computer as both a tutoring device and a computational aid. The system will consist of two components: a powerful user interface to a symbolis mathematics package and graphical display routines; and tutorial modules. In this one year planning grant, a study on how the computer can be best integrated into the calculus curriculum, and a prototypical course module on the topic of integration will be completed. Students will be introduced to important techniques using symbolic computation facilities. The graphical and numerical capabilities will demonstrate several numerical integration techniques. Real world examples from several client disciplines will be used to motivate topics. University of Rhode Island will provide 40% of the project cost.

这个项目的主要目标是创造一个计算环境，在这个环境中，微积分学生将计算机作为一种辅导设备和计算辅助工具。该系统将由两个部分组成：一个强大的用户界面，一个符号数学包和图形显示例程；和教程模块。在这项为期一年的计划拨款中，将完成一项关于如何最好地将计算机整合到微积分课程中的研究，以及一个关于整合主题的原型课程模块。学生将被介绍使用符号计算设施的重要技术。图形和数值能力将演示几种数值积分技术。来自几个客户学科的真实世界的例子将被用来激发主题。罗德岛大学将提供40%的项目费用。
