Computer Classroom Laboratory-Calculus for Everyone and Mathematical Modelling for the Life Sciences

9452476巴斯托兹网络计算机实验室教室专为本科生数学教学而设。有两类课程受到影响：(1)实验室每年为大约1,000名学生教授一门名为“计算机微积分”的课程。这门课程是针对非理工科专业的，它取代了大学代数作为非理工科学生的毕业要求。本课程介绍了微积分的大部分主要思想，使用派生软件包来完成大部分的代数运算和绘制函数。(2)该实验室用于教授一系列新的微积分、常微分方程式和数学建模课程，以满足生物和生命科学学生的需要。目标是改善这些学生的数学背景，他们传统上只上过一学期的多项式微积分课程。最初，每年大约有100名学生参加这些课程。

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.
