Calculus, Computers, and Mathematica

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

A computer laboratory is being developed for students in third semester calculus and differential equations. The laboratory is based upon Mathematica and makes use of NEXT Computers. Students attend three lectures a week and then a two hour "closed" laboratory. The computer laboratories are a means of enriching the ideas presented in lectures and provide an opportunity for students to study at length the implications and possibilities of these ideas since the tedious time consuming calculations are relegated to the computer.
