Faculty Development in Mathematics: A Model for Enhancing Math Skills Throughout the Core Curriculum

正在开展初步工作，以期通过促进在所有核心课程班级中使用数学来影响里诺内华达大学的所有学生，从而建立一个贯穿整个课程的数学方案。共有来自不同学科和数学的16名教员参与确定在哪些地方可以将数学引入核心课程。在最初的开发之后，这些方法正在被添加到课程中。此外，正在培训和聘用学生数学导师，以帮助教师和学生在非数学课程中有效地应用数学。正在通过休斯基金会的赠款提供匹配支持，以支持一名数学中心主任的工资。我们的长期目标是将一个类似的写作中心的成功转化为一个致力于在整个课程中推广数学的中心。

Initial work is being conducted toward the goal of instituting a Mathematics Across the Curriculum program to affect all students at the University of Nevada, Reno by facilitating the use of mathematics in all core curriculum classes. A total of 16 faculty from a variety of disciplines as well as mathematics are engaged in determining specific places where mathematics can be introduced into the curriculum of core courses. After the original development, these approaches are being added to the courses. In addition, student Math Mentors are being trained and employed to assist faculty and students in the effective application of mathematics in non-mathematics courses. Matching support is being provided through a Hughes Foundation grant to support the salary of a director of a Mathematics Center. The long term goal is to translate success with a similarly-focused Writing Center into a Center devoted to promoting Mathematics Across the Curriculum.
