Mathematics Department Computer Laboratory Improvement

该项目将支持计算机实验室的扩展，该实验室将用于向理工科和数学系的学生介绍在强大的工作站上使用符号处理程序和本地开发的软件进行科学计算。它是由仪器和实验室改进(ILI)计划资助的，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、数学或工程领域的现场课程来提高本科课程的质量。特别是，该项目的目标是将计算纳入第三学期微积分课程，该课程由工程、科学和数学专业的学生选修，并改善这些领域的学生在高年级数学课程中现有的计算机使用情况。

This project will support the expansion of a computer laboratory which will be used to introduce science, engineering, and mathematics students to scientific computing on powerful workstations using symbolic manipulation programs and locally developed software. It is being funded under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which has the 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. In particular, the objective of the project is to incorporate computing into a third semester calculus course which is taken by engineering, science, and mathematics students and to improve the existing use of computers in upper division mathematics courses for students in these fields.
