A Laboratory/Classroom for Computational Mathematics

一个实验室/教室正在配备20台IBM-55SX计算机，用于一系列高年级数学课程，服务于工程、科学和数学学生的需要。这个实验室，加上一个额外的教室，配备了电脑和投影面板，提供了一个环境，使计算机成为教学过程的自然组成部分。学生们正在学习使用计算机不仅是作为解决问题的数值引擎，而且作为一种数学资源，他们可以利用它来提高自己的理解。

A Laboratory/Classroom for Computational MathematicsA laboratory/classroom is being equipped with 20 IBM-55SX computers for use in a range of upper division mathematics courses serving the needs of engineering, science, and mathematics students. The laboratory, together with an additional classroom equipped with computer and projection panel, is providing an environment in which computing becomes a natural part of the instructional process. Students are learning to use the computer not only as a numerical engine to solve problems, but as a mathematical resource which they can exploit to enhance their own understanding.
