ATLAST

ATLAST项目将在1992年和1993年夏季主办一系列关于在线性代数教学中使用软件的十个区域讲习班。参与者将学习如何使用现有的商业线性代数软件包，以及如何有效地将这些软件包整合到他们的课程中。参与者也将被要求设计他们自己的计算练习和项目，其水平适合在本科线性代数课上的作业。这些练习将在研讨会结束后的学年进行课堂测试，必要时进行修改，然后提交给项目主管，纳入数据库。每个夏季讲习班的数据基将被编辑，印制成手册，分发给讲习班的参加者。项目主管将从手册中选出最好的练习，收录在一本由数学学会出版的ATLAST项目专著中。

The ATLAST Project will sponsor a series of ten regional workshops during the summers of 1992 and 1993 on the use of software in teaching linear algebra. Workshop participants will learn how to use existing commercial linear algebra software packages and how to effectively incorporate these packages into their courses. Participants will also be expected to design their own computing exercises and projects at a level suitable for assignment in an undergraduate linear algebra class. These exercises will be class tested during the school year following the workshop, revised if necessary, and then submitted to the project director for inclusion in a database. The databases from each of the summer workshops will be edited, printed as manuals, and distributed to the workshop participants. The project director will select the best exercises from the manuals for inclusion in a special ATLAST Project book which will be published by one of the mathematics societies.
