Faculty at the University of Oklahoma are producing, evaluating, and disseminating an interdisciplinary mathematics course for students whose major does not require calculus. Many of the ideas from calculus such as rates of change are included. The goals are to provide students with an appreciation of the intrinsic worth of mathematics, expose them to real applications of mathematics, and empower them with the quantitative and qualitative skills necessary for analytical and mathematical reasoning. The course is not to be a broad survey of either mathematics or its applications; rather, it focuses on a few significant and timely applications of mathematics provided by professions from agriculture, biology, business, chemistry, engineering, music, physics, political science, and zoology. A key feature of the course is the implementation of modern technology to provide students with fundamental tools such as graphical analysis, which have broad application and allow a diminished role for traditional drill and calculation. One produce of the project will be a commercially published text.

俄克拉荷马州大学的教师正在为专业不需要微积分的学生制作、评估和传播一门跨学科的数学课程。 许多来自微积分的想法，如变化率都包括在内。 目标是让学生了解数学的内在价值，让他们接触到数学的真实的应用，并使他们具备分析和数学推理所需的定量和定性技能。 本课程不是对数学或其应用的广泛调查;相反，它侧重于农业，生物学，商业，化学，工程，音乐，物理学，政治学和动物学专业提供的一些重要而及时的数学应用。 该课程的一个主要特点是实施现代技术，为学生提供基本工具，如图形分析，具有广泛的应用，并允许传统的演习和计算的作用减少。 该项目的一项成果将是商业出版文本。
