A Computing Classroom - Laboratory For Undergraduate Mathematics Instruction

9352676乔里亚姆·特克斯科技大学正在创建一个计算机化的教室和实验室，这将对本科生的科学和数学教育产生重大影响。首先，它为未来的数学和科学教师提供了一个讲授《数学与科学的计算技术》(CTMS)课程的课堂环境，并使用Maple授予微积分荣誉。这使得学生在课堂上获得实践经验的同时，还可以进行演示和指导。这种设备也被用作实验室，学生可以在这里使用他们在课堂上处理的相同计算格式来完成作业和项目。参加CTMS的主要是数学专业的微积分后学生或寻求中学数学教师资格证书的学生。这门课程包括的主题是发展编程、数值计算和符号处理的技能，主要使用MatLab和Maple。它还为越来越多在课堂上使用计算机的中学教师提供所需的培训。特别是，拉伯克独立学区最近将计算机代数系统的使用纳入了中学课程。数学系仿照CTMS课程举办了一个特别的暑期讲习班，目的是向中学教师介绍现代计算机系统的使用。由于许多来自拉伯克地区的高中毕业生就读于德克萨斯理工大学，CTMS课程和中学教师暑期研讨会对德克萨斯理工大学的数学和科学本科课程以及高中数学课程产生了重要影响。***

9352676 Gilliam Texax Tech University is creating a computerized classroom- laboratory that will have a major impact on undergraduate science and mathematics education. First, it is providing a classroom environment in which to teach the course "Computa- tional Techniques for Mathematics and Science" (CTMS) for prospective mathematics and science teachers as well as honors calculus using Maple. This allows for both demonstration and guidance while students gain hands-on experience during class. This equipment is also being used as a laboratory in which students can complete assignments and projects utilizing the same computing format they deal with in class.Enrollment in CTMS consists primarily of post-calculus students who are mathematics majors or students seeking secondary mathematics teacher certification. This course includes topics that develop skills in programming, numerical computation, and symbolic manipulation using primarily MATLAB and Maple. It also provides training needed by a growing number of secondary teachers who use computers in their classrooms. In particular, the Lubbock Independent School District has recently implemented the use of computer algebra systems into the secondary curriculum. The Department of Mathematics offers a special summer workshop modeled after the CTMS course for the purpose of introducing secondary teachers to the uses of modern computer systems. Since many high school graduates from the Lubbock area attend Texas Tech, the CTMS course and the Summer Workshop for secondary teachers are having an important influence on the undergraduate program in mathematics and science at Texas Tech and the high school mathematics curricula. ***
