Computers in Undergraduate Geometry and Applied Analysis

该项目将支持购买工作站和软件，以改进高年级数学和应用数学课程的教学。它是由仪器和实验室改进(ILI)计划资助的，该计划的目标是支持开发新的或改进的基于仪器的科学、数学或工程本科实验室课程的项目。仪器设备和实验室改进计划为在美国高校实施本科教学改进所需的仪器设备提供配套支持。特别是，这个项目的主要目标是为几门课程的高年级学生提供强大的、用户友好的数学软件，该软件将数字、符号和图形功能结合在一个包中。学生们将能够用最近学到的想法进行实验，并想象出他们已经解决的问题的解决方案。

This project will support the purchase of workstations and software to improve instruction in upper division mathematics and applied mathematics courses. It is being funded under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which has the goal of supporting projects to develop new or improved instrument-based undergraduate laboratory courses in science, mathematics, or engineering. The Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program provides matching support for the instrumen- tation necessary to implement undergraduate instructional improvements at U.S. colleges and universities. In particular, the main objective of this project is to provide upper division students in several courses with powerful, user friendly mathematical software which combines numerical, symbolic, and graphics capabilities in one package. The students will be able to experiment with recently learned ideas, and to visualize solutions to problems they have worked.
