9450849 Gale \A powerful microcomputer-based computer algebra system such as Maple V is a resource for calculus teaching that can enhance students' understanding of fundamental concepts, enable students and instructors to do realistic applications, and ameliorate the ongoing decline in the number of students pursuing technical degrees. To maximize these benefits the CAS must be incorporated smoothly into each class session in such a way that students can see how the program is used, and can use it themselves whenever need or opportunity arises. To this end, the Department of Mathematics of the University of North Carolina at Asheville is teaching calculus in a combination classroom/computer laboratory. A classroom is outfitted with 19 Macintosh Centris 650 computers, an In Focus System 6000 LCD projection panel, and some networking hardware and software. The calculus computer classroom (not a laboratory) enables smooth transitions between lecture/discussion and computer explorations. This classroom enables the mathematics faculty to teach calculus courses in an innovative way and creates a model for math departments initiating changes in their own curricula.

9450849 Gale \ 功能强大的基于微型计算机的计算机代数系统（例如 Maple V）是微积分教学的资源，可以增强学生对基本概念的理解，使学生和教师能够进行实际应用，并改善攻读技术学位的学生数量持续下降的情况。为了最大限度地发挥这些优势，CAS 必须顺利地融入到每堂课中，以便学生能够看到该程序的使用方式，并在需要或机会出现时可以自己使用它。为此，北卡罗来纳大学阿什维尔分校数学系正在教室/计算机实验室相结合的方式教授微积分。 一间教室配备了 19 台 Macintosh Centris 650 计算机、一台 In Focus System 6000 LCD 投影面板以及一些网络硬件和软件。 微积分计算机教室（不是实验室）可以实现讲座/讨论和计算机探索之间的平稳过渡。该教室使数学教师能够以创新的方式教授微积分课程，并为数学系改变自己的课程创建了一个模型。
