A Computer Laboratory to Support Mathematics Across the Curriculum and Calculus Reform

9451171 Johnson通过一项名为“数学贯穿课程”的综合计划，本科生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。其目标是通过加强广泛课程的数学组成部分，特别是在核心（或通识教育）课程中，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一努力，以及本科数学课程，包括微积分，线性代数和微分方程。数学课程的初步改革是使用哈佛微积分联盟的材料，并使用这个计算机实验室。实验室的工作人员和管理在一个新成立的数学中心。主任以过去在数学教育中使用技术方面的经验和专门知识为基础。他与数学系以外的教师合作，加强数学和技术在他们课程中的作用，帮助学生处理与数学相关的作业，并帮助修改数学课程。

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.
