Microcomputer-Equipped Workshops for the Introductory Mathematics Program

麦金塔2号的两个微型计算机教室/实验室正在支持一个新的数学入门课程。该项目包括六门课程；定量推理、统计学与应用、数学与应用I & II、微积分I & II工作坊。离散数学和计算机科学导论中成功采用的以学习者为中心的教学方法正在取代传统的讲座形式。学生们合作完成专门设计的计算机练习，帮助他们自己构建数学概念，并获得可用于进一步学习数学、自然科学和社会科学的可转移技能。

Two microcomputer classroom/laboratories with Macintosh IIsi's are supporting a new Introductory Mathematics Program. This program consists of six courses; Workshops on Quantitative Reasoning, Statistics with Applications, Mathematics with Applications I & II, and Calculus I & II. The successful learner-centered pedagogical approach already employed in discrete mathematics and introductory computer science is replacing the traditional lecture format. Students work collaboratively on computer exercises specially designed to help them construct mathematical ideas on their own and acquire transferable skills that can be used in further study in mathematics and the natural and social sciences.
