Interactive Mathematics Classroom

数学与计算机科学系 建立互动数学教室，包括 16个学生工作站和1个教师工作站/档案 服务器，所有Macintosh Quadra 700。 该项目的目标是 让学生使用当前一代的数学 软件来获得数学直觉和应用 从数学理论到现实问题 课堂是 使学生能够以一种 用传统的纸和纸的方法是不可能的， 此外，还允许那些正在接受培训的人 教师获得所需的动手接触数学 软件 教室的一个独特之处是网络 软件，具有屏幕共享以及文件和资源 共享 这允许教师之间的自动交互 学生和高质量的数学软件 包括Mathematica和MATLAB。 第一个使用 互动数学教室是那些专为 未来的K-8教师，涵盖数字系统，几何， 和功能 在项目的第二年， 教室将被用来增加标准数学 线性代数、微分方程、数的教学 理论、几何和线性优化。

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is establishing an Interactive Mathematics Classroom, containing 16 student workstations and one teacher workstation/file server, all Macintosh Quadra 700s. The goal of the project is to have students use the current generation of mathematical software to gain mathematical intuition and to apply mathematical theory to realistic problems. The Classroom is enabling students to experiment with examples in ways that are not possible with the traditional pencil-and-paper approach and, in addition, is allowing those who are being trained as teachers to gain needed hands-on exposure to mathematical software. A unique feature of the Classroom is the network software, featuring screen sharing as well as file and resource sharing. This permits automated interaction between instructor and students and high quality access to mathematical software including Mathematica and MATLAB. The first classes to use the Interactive Mathematics Classroom are those designed for prospective K-8 teachers, covering number systems, geometry, and functions. In the second year of the project, the classroom will be used to augment standard mathematics instruction in linear algebra, differential equations, number theory, geometry, and linear optimization.
