This project will support the Mathematics Undergraduate Resource Computer Laboratory at the University of Arizona. It is being funded under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which has the stated goal of improving "the quality of the undergraduate curriculum by supporting projects to develop new or improved instrument-based undergraduate laboratory and/or field courses in science, mathematics, or engineering." The laboratory will be a walk-in resource for undergraduate students; this will allow the faculty to present the students with realistic problems to solve. The aim of the project is to use computers as tools for discovery, enrichment, and deeper understanding in every appropriate undergraduate course. In addition to the purchase of software for this laboratory, new software is being developed by faculty members at the University of Arizona. The project is expected to affect approximately 5000 students at or above the level of calculus in engineering, science, business, and education.

该项目将支持亚利桑那大学数学本科资源计算机实验室。该项目由仪器和实验室改进计划（ILI）资助，该计划的目标是“通过支持开发新的或改进的基于仪器的本科实验室和/或科学、数学或工程领域课程的项目，提高本科课程的质量”。该实验室将为本科生提供一个可随时进入的资源；这将使教师能够向学生展示需要解决的现实问题。该项目的目的是利用计算机作为工具，在每一门适当的本科课程中进行发现、丰富和更深入的理解。除了为这个实验室购买软件之外，亚利桑那大学的教师们正在开发新的软件。该项目预计将影响约5000名工程、科学、商业和教育领域的微积分或以上水平的学生。
