Pre-Calculus Instructional Computing Laboratory

一个面向微积分预科学生的教学计算实验室正在开发中。该项目始于1990年春，开始进行小规模试验，并将继续与技术-职业学院合作，这是一个两年制机构，许多学生从该机构转到新墨西哥大学。目标是实施计算机辅助教学计划的使用，强调合作学习作为微积分基础课程的组成部分，并积累关于学生的数学背景、表现和态度的信息数据库，它将用于确定弓，以更有效地满足少数群体和其他经常在数学上有困难的群体的需求。

An instructional computing laboratory for pre-calculus students is being developed. The project began in spring 1990, with a small-scale trial and will continue with the collaboration of the Technical-Vocational Institute, a two-year institution from which many students transfer to the University of New Mexico. The goals are to implement use of a computer assisted instructional program with an emphasis on cooperative learning as an integral part of the pre-calculus level courses and accumulate a data base of information on students' math backgrounds, performance, and attitudes, which will be used in determining bow to more effectively meet the needs of minority and other groups that frequently have difficulty in mathematics.
