Computer Laboratories for a Restructured Calculus Curriculum

通过改编杜克大学calc项目的教材，微积分课程正在进行改革。杜克大学的教材体现了对微积分课程的彻底修订，围绕以下几个方面建立课程：(1)选定的科学领域的问题，这些问题激发了微积分技术的介绍；(2)一个基于发现的计算机实验室，以与科学课程实验室相同的方式进行；(3)写作作业，将课程的重点放在概念理解上，而不仅仅是计算技能。

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.
