The Design of a Computer Algebra System to Effect a More Relevant Mathematics Curriculum

本项目将对计算机代数系统（CAS）进行改进，使其成为微积分和微积分预科学生更适合、更实用的学习工具。PI Child是第一个开发原型智能辅导系统和Macintosh图形界面的人。拟议的新计算机技术和课程修订将成为罗林斯学院中学教师再培训和实验应用微积分、微积分预备课程教学的基础。该设备将用于计算机实验室的组成部分，并可通过教师桌面访问CAS。两名高级职员已获得斯隆基金会的资助，用于开发CAS。受让方为从非联邦来源获得的设备提供等额的费用。

This project will modify computer algebra systems (CAS) to make it a more suitable, usable learning tool for calculus and then pre- calculus students. The PI Child is the first person to develop a prototypical intelligent tutoring system and a Macintosh graphic interface to Maple. The proposed new computer technology and curricular revisions will be the basis for faculty retraining and teaching of experimental applied calculus, pre-calculus, and summer workshops for secondary school teachers at Rollins College. The equipment will be used for a computer laboratory components, and faculty desktop access to CAS. Two of the senior staff have received grants from the Sloan Foundation to develop CAS. The grantee is providing an equal sum for the equipment obtained from non-Federal sources.
