Mathematical Biology through Computer-aided Instruction

计算机辅助数学生物学教学 这个项目涉及一门数学生物学的新课程 旨在教学生数学思维， 能够在生物学的背景下解决问题 以理工科为重实现这一目标的一个关键点是， 数学理解和解决问题的能力 不同于数学计算的技能。 数学生物学还教学生制定 用数学术语描述定量问题 运营因此，一个交互式程序正在 通过使用计算机程序Mathematica运行 在工作站计算机网络上。课程强调 四个重要主题。在实验室会议期间， 在计算机上模拟并流入计算机辅助 分析系统实验，实验室笔记本， 计算器和数据库，以及最终报告都集成在一起 变成一个系统。数学生物学是作为一个大二教 课程，并预计将建立在生物学原理 学习一般生物学，并为学生使用 高中生物课程中的数学。

Mathematical Biology Through Computer-aided Instruction This project involves a new course in Mathematical Biology that is designed to teach students to think mathematically and be able to solve problems within the context of the biological sciences. A key point in realizing this goal is that mathematical understanding and problem solving ability are different from the skills of mathematical computation. Mathematical Biology also teaches students to formulate the description of quantitative problems in terms of mathematical operations. Accordingly, an interactive program is being implemented by use of the computer program Mathematica running on a network of workstation computers. The course emphasizes four important themes. During laboratory sessions data are simulated on the computer and flow into a computer aided analysis system. Experiments, the laboratory notebook, the calculator and worksheets, and final reports are integrated into one system. Mathematical Biology is taught as a sophomore course, and is expected to build on biological principles learned in general biology and prepare students for the use of mathematics in upper division biology courses.
