9452476 Bustoz A networked computer laboratory classroom is devoted exclusively to undergraduate instruction in mathematics. Two types of courses are affected: (1) The laboratory is used to teach approximately 1,000 students per year in a course entitled "Calculus with Computers." This course, which is aimed at non-technical majors, is a replacement for College Algebra as a graduation requirement for non-science students. The course introduces most of the main ideas of calculus using the DERIVE software package to do most of the algebraic manipulations and to plot functions. (2) The Laboratory is used to teach a new sequence of courses in calculus, ordinary differential equations, and mathematical modeling that are tailored to the needs of students in the biological and life sciences. The goal is to improve the mathematics background of these students, who have traditionally taken only a one-semester course in polynomial calculus. Initially, about 100 students per year take these courses.

小行星9452476 一个网络化的计算机实验室教室专门用于数学本科教学。 受影响的课程有两类：（1）实验室每年用于教授约1 000名学生题为“计算机微积分”的课程。" 这门课程，这是针对非技术专业，是一个替代大学代数作为非理科学生的毕业要求。 本课程介绍了微积分的大部分主要思想，使用DERIVE软件包进行大部分代数运算和绘制函数。 (2)该实验室用于教授微积分，常微分方程和数学建模课程的新序列，这些课程是针对生物和生命科学学生的需求而量身定制的。 目标是提高这些学生的数学背景，他们传统上只上了一个学期的多项式微积分课程。 最初，每年约有100名学生参加这些课程。
