Interactive Modules For Courses Following Calculus

9352889摩尔作者正在开发交互式实验室和课堂材料，以支持完成改革后的微积分课程的学生的后续课程：线性代数、微分方程式和应用数学分析。一个七人开发小组在五个不同的机构工作，为期两年，将开发大约70个互动文本模块。每个模块将在Mathcad 3.1、Maple V或数学a系统中开发，并由学生助理翻译到其他两个系统中的每一个。这个项目将建立和加强学生从改革后的微积分课程中获得的概念和分享的经验。这些学生知道如何在实验室工作，如何与合作伙伴合作，以及如何独立工作。此外，他们还介绍了许多重要的想法，这些想法将在后续课程中进一步发展。这类学生会发现，在为21世纪的科学或工程职业生涯做准备时，传统课程不太令人满意。该项目将开发的模块将使学生能够在现代计算机环境中处理重大和现实的问题，允许学生进行无休止的不同示例的实验，并控制他们学习的顺序和速度。

9352889 Moore The authors are developing interactive laboratory and classroom materials to support follow-on courses for students completing reformed calculus course: linear algebra, differential equations, and applied mathematical analysis. A seven-member development team, working at five different institutions over a two-year period, will develop approximately 70 interactive text modules. Each module will be developed in one of the systems Mathcad 3.1, Maple V, or Mathematica, and translated by student assistants to each of the other two system. This project will build on and reinforce the acquired concepts and shared experiences of students moving on from reformed calculus courses. These students know how to work in a lab, how to work with partners, and how to work on their own. Moreover, they have had introductions to many of the important ideas that will be developed further in the follow-on courses. Such students will find conventional courses less than satisfactory as preparation for their scientific or engineering careers in the 21st century. The modules to be developed by this project will enable students to work with significant and realistic problems in a modern computer environment that allows the to experiment to vary examples endlessly, and to control the order and pace of their learning.
