A Microcomputer Enhanced Classroom for Mathematics and Computer Science

该项目的主要目的是提供一个增强的 使用配备Mathematica的Macintosh的学习环境 IIVX微型计算机，以帮助学生发展更深层次的 数学的概念性理解。 该项目以一个试点项目为基础， 微积分、现代代数和线性代数、几何、 数值分析、建模、有限数学和运算 研究课程。 虽然实验室将用于增强这些 其他课程，和一个开始编程课程，主要是 通过学生项目和作业，以及偶尔的- 课堂上使用实验室，主要重点将放在课堂上使用 微积分和现代代数实验室的负责人 电脑- 设备齐全的教室将通过更多地使用 发现、探索、绘图和 仿真

The primary aim of this project is to provide an enhanced learning environment by using Mathematica-equipped Macintosh IIvx microcomputers to assist students in developing a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematics. The project is based on a pilot project exploring the use of computers in calculus, modern and linear algebra, geometry, numerical analysis, modeling, finite math, and operations research courses. While the lab will be used to enhance these other courses, and a beginning programming course, primarily through student projects and assignments and occasional in- class use of the lab, the major focus will be on in-class use of the lab in calculus and modern algebra. The computer- equipped classroom will enhance the courses through greater use of such techniques as discovery, exploration, graphing, and simulation.
