A New Calculus Program at the University of Michigan

密歇根大学计划完全修改其第一个 一个为期三年的微积分计划，采用 在哈佛联合体项目中开发的材料。 的 新方案的主要特点是：（1）密集， 为所有教职员工提供持续的讲师培训计划， 助教 (2)一个教室环境， 结合合作学习和实验， 学生 (3)教学大纲的重大修订，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。 （二） 学生们更好地准备，更有可能采取， 进一步的数学和科学课程。 (3)更愉快的 学生的经验。

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.
