9451360 Hoft The University of Michigan at Dearborn in cooperation with Eastern Michigan University and Siena Heights is developing an upper level interactive and interdisciplinary laboratory course for mathematics and computer science which channels some of the recent technological advances in communications and computations into the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. At the center of the course is the interplay between mathematics and computer science and its effect on computational mathematics. A computer algebra system is used interactively for all teaching and learning activities in the classroom and the laboratory. This helps students to integrate ideas, concepts, and applications from both fields in a natural and transparent way. The teaching model of the course is based on interactive learning materials, locating the laboratory wherever a student and a computer running the software interact, and on the extensive use of electronic communication between students and faculty, distributing the laboratory through access to the Internet. The course content is designed for the junior/senior level of the mathematics and computer science curricula, and it builds on topics and concepts in the sophomore level core of both fields. The course fits into a curriculum on mathematics, computational mathematics and computer science with minor changes in emphasis only. The course is particularly well suited for academic institutions where mathematics and computer science are programs in a single department. The materials for the course, including a teacher's manual and a collection of student projects, are being printed and electronic form.

小行星9451360 密歇根大学在迪尔伯恩与东密歇根大学和锡耶纳高地合作，正在开发一个上层互动和跨学科的数学和计算机科学实验室课程，该课程将通信和计算方面的一些最新技术进展引入本科数学课程。课程的中心是数学和计算机科学之间的相互作用及其对计算数学的影响。一个计算机代数系统是用于交互式的所有教学和学习活动在教室和实验室。这有助于学生以自然和透明的方式整合两个领域的想法，概念和应用程序。该课程的教学模式是基于交互式学习材料，定位实验室，无论学生和运行软件的计算机交互，并在学生和教师之间的电子通信的广泛使用，通过访问互联网分布实验室。 课程内容是专为数学和计算机科学课程的初级/高级水平，它建立在两个领域的大二水平核心的主题和概念。该课程适合于数学，计算数学和计算机科学的课程，重点只有微小的变化。该课程特别适合数学和计算机科学是一个部门的学术机构。 该课程的材料，包括教师手册和学生项目集，正在印刷和电子形式。
