Mary E. Scherer DUE 9551132 University of Redlands FY1995 $ 41,066 Redlands, CA 923743755 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Mathematics Title: Computer Classroom Laboratory for Upper Division Mathematics Classes The mathematics faculty of the University of Redlands is converting its Pre-Calculus, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Numerical Analysis, College Geometry, and Number Theory courses from lecture courses to laboratory courses featuring discovery-based learning. A new course, Introduction to Mathematical Modeling, also uses a discovery-based approach. The primary discovery tool for each of these courses is the computer. This projects equips each of the classrooms in which these courses are taught with one PowerMacintosh 7100/66AV computer for each two students. The Redlands project reflects its faculty's belief, shared by mathematics educators nationwide, that students learn best by actively discovering and exploring mathematical concepts. The computer allows students to visualize and explore complex models and data sets not tractable using more traditional algebraic or analytic approaches.

玛丽E.谢勒 雷德兰兹大学University of Redlands 1995财年$41，066加利福尼亚州雷德兰兹923743755 ILI -仪器 项目名称： 数学 计算机教室实验室（Computer Classroom Laboratory for Upper Division Mathematics Class） 雷德兰兹大学的数学系正在将其微积分预科、概率论、数理统计、数值分析、大学几何和数论课程从讲座课程转变为以发现为基础的实验室课程。 一个新的课程，介绍数学建模，也使用了发现为基础的方法。 这些课程的主要发现工具是计算机。 该项目为每两名学生配备了一台PowerMacintosh 7100/66 AV计算机。 雷德兰兹项目反映了其教师的信念，全国数学教育工作者共享，学生学习最好的积极发现和探索数学概念。 计算机使学生能够可视化和探索复杂的模型和数据集，而这些模型和数据集是使用传统的代数或分析方法无法处理的。
