Computational Classroom Facility for Biometry Courses

一个计算机实验室被用来教授生物数学和生物统计学。这个实验室的设置有以下主要目的：1)使数学概念和工具对生物科学专业的学生更容易理解、更有趣和更有用。2)使大学生更容易接受高等数学建模。3)允许在我们的整套本科课程中使用真实和现实的案例研究。4)使统计学和生物计量学的高级本科生更充分地参与本单元的研究计划。5)提高数学素养，而不是容易被遗忘的技术技能。6)使参加科学与数学教师教育项目的本科专业学生了解数学和数学计算在生物学中的应用。

A computer laboratory is being used for the instruction of biomathematics and biological statistics. This laboratory setting serves the following major purposes: 1) Makes mathematical concepts and tools more understandable, more enjoyable and more useful for biological sciences majors. 2) Makes advanced mathematical modelling more accessible to undergraduates. 3) Allows the use of real and realistic case studies in our entire set of undergraduate course offerings. 4) Enables advanced undergraduate majors in Statistics and Biometry to participate more fully in the research program of the Unit. 5) Promotes mathematical literacy rather than easily forgotten technical skills. 6) Exposes undergraduate majors who are participating in the Teacher Education in Science and Mathematics program to the use of mathematics and mathematical computing in biology.
