Math Excel Mentor Lab

东北大学正在创建一个计算机设施，数学Excel导师实验室，以支持数学学习。数学Excel程序的灵感来自Uri Triesmann的一次访问，并松散地模仿了他帮助开发的其他一些程序。该计划将聘请一些学生作为数学Excel导师实验室的导师。数学Excel导师实验室将服务于两个相关目的。第一个是作为微积分、微分方程和线性代数部分的辅助实验室。通过实验室，学生将探索课程中的新想法。第二个目的是提供一个环境，帮助学生创造性地探索数学并做出自己的发现。第二个目的的一个方面是创造一种支持数学发现的学生文化。

Northeastern University is creating a computer facility, the Math Excel Mentor Laboratory, to support the learning of mathematics. The program Math Excel was inspired by a visit from Uri Triesmann and is loosely modeled on some of the other programs he has helped develop. This program will employ some of its students as mentors in the Math Excel Mentor Laboratory. The Math Excel Mentor Laboratory will serve two related purposes. The first of these is to be a support laboratory for sections of calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. Through the laboratory, students will explore ideas new to the curriculum. The second purpose will be to provide an environment in which students help students explore mathematics creatively and make their own discoveries. One aspect of this second purpose will be the creation of a supportive student culture of mathematical discovery.
