9451171 Johnson A laboratory of microcomputers networked to a file server which is equipped with mathematics and statistics software is used by undergraduate students in both mathematics courses and courses in other undergraduate areas through a comprehensive plan called Mathematics Across the Curriculum. The goal is to make the learning and appreciation of mathematics a shared responsibility on campus by enhancing the mathematics components of a wide range of courses, especially in the core (or general education) curriculum. The computer lab supports this effort as well as undergraduate mathematics courses, including Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. The initial reform of the mathematics curriculum is the use of the Harvard Calculus Consortium materials supported by the use of this computer laboratory. The lab is staffed and managed in a newly created Mathematics Center. The Director builds upon past experience and expertise in the uses of technology in mathematics education. He works with faculty outside the Mathematics Department to enhance the role of mathematics and technology in their courses, assists students in coping with mathematics-related assignments and helps to revise mathematics courses.

9451171 Johnson 通过一个名为“跨课程数学”的综合计划，本科生可以在数学课程和其他本科领域的课程中使用与文件服务器联网的微型计算机实验室，该实验室配备了数学和统计软件。 目标是通过加强各种课程的数学成分，特别是核心（或通识教育）课程，使数学的学习和欣赏成为校园的共同责任。 计算机实验室支持这项工作以及本科数学课程，包括微积分、线性代数和微分方程。 数学课程的最初改革是使用哈佛微积分联盟的材料，并由该计算机实验室支持。 该实验室由新创建的数学中心配备人员和管理。 该主任以过去在数学教育中使用技术的经验和专业知识为基础。他与数学系以外的教师合作，增强数学和技术在课程中的作用，帮助学生应对数学相关作业并帮助复习数学课程。
