Development of Undergraduate Microcomputer Laboratory for Mathematics and Computer Science Majors at Abilene ChristianUniversity

本项目开发一个微机实验室， 本科数学课程和高级本科 计算机科学课程。 学生在微积分和线性 代数将熟悉计算机代数系统， 如MAPLE。 该系统的使用在随后的 数学课程，希望在专业领域， 数学实践。 微积分的第一门课是 增加了一个计算机实验室课程， 信用 计算机科学专业的学生使用新设备 特别是在面向对象的程序设计，图形学， 和操作系统。 要运行的软件包括目标 C、C++和SMALLTALK五、设备包括16个 与运行UNIX的LAN联网的486型微型计算机 操作系统 此外，还有三个mobil开销 配备电脑和LCD投影板的工作站 用于课堂教学。

This project develops a microcomputer laboratory to be used for undergraduate mathematics courses and advanced undergraduate courses in computer science. Students in Calculus and Linear Algebra will become acquainted with a computer algebra system, such as MAPLE. The use of this system continues in subsequent mathematics courses and, hopefully, in the professional practice of mathematics. The first course in calculus is augmented by a computer laboratory course carrying one hour credit. Computer science students use the new equipment especially in courses in Object-Oriented Programming, Graphics, and Operating Systems. Software to be run includes OBJECTIVE C, C + + and SMALLTALK V.The equipment includes 16 microcomputers of 486 type networked to a LAN running the UNIX operating system. In addition, there are three mobil overhead work stations equipped with computers and LCD projection pads for classroom instructional use.
