The calculus curriculum is being reformed by adapting the materials produced by Duke University's ProjectCALC. Duke's materials embody a radical revision of the calculus curriculum, building the course around (I) selected problem areas in the sciences that motivate the introduction of calculus techniques, (2) a discovery-based computer laboratory, conducted in much the same way as a laboratory for a science course, and (3) writing assignments which place the major emphasis of the course on conceptual understanding not solely computational skills.

微积分课程正在进行改革，采用杜克大学的ProjectCALC编写的材料。杜克的材料体现了对微积分课程的彻底修改，围绕(I)鼓励引入微积分技术的科学中选定的问题领域，(2)以发现为基础的计算机实验室，其开展方式与科学课程的实验室大致相同，以及(3)写作作业，这些作业主要强调概念理解，而不仅仅是计算技能。
