The University of Michigan plans to completely revise its first year calculus program over a three year period, adopting the materials developed in the Harvard consortium project. The main features of the new program are: (1) An intensive and ongoing instructor training program for all faculty and teaching assistants. (2) A classroom environment that incorporates cooperative learning and experimentation by students. (3) Major syllabus revision which emphasizes problem solving, geometric visualization, and quantitative reasoning. (4) Integration of the graphing calculator into the curriculum. The principal goals are: (1) A concept driven course. (2) Students are better prepared for, and more likely to take, further mathematics and science courses. (3) A more enjoyable experience for students.

密歇根大学计划在三年内彻底修改其第一年的微积分课程，采用哈佛大学联盟项目开发的材料。 新计划的主要特点是：（1）针对所有教师和助教的强化和持续的讲师培训计划。 (2) 学生合作学习和实验的课堂环境。 （3）大纲修订，强调问题解决、几何可视化和定量推理。 (4) 将图形计算器纳入课程。 主要目标是： (1) 概念驱动的课程。 (2) 学生为进一步的数学和科学课程做好更好的准备，更有可能参加。 （三）为学生提供更加愉快的体验。
