"Retooling Mathematics" addresses the modernization of the undergraduate mathematics curriculum in a complex educational system involving several hundred secondary schools, seven 2-year colleges, and a large university. The basic approach of this project is the incremental implementation of precalculus and calculus reform curricula at the University of Reform Movement, with frequent assessments and dissemination of information, coupled with continuing education courses to train secondary school and 2-year college teachers. Women and minorities are a special focus of "Retooling Mathematics." The project tracks how these groups respond, both materially and by attitude, to the reform curriculum relative to other students. Finally, the facility is used to enhance the undergraduate research program, particularly the summer research programs for minorities and the less privileged.

“重组数学”解决了现代化的本科数学课程在一个复杂的教育系统，涉及数百所中学，七个两年制学院，和一个大型大学。 该项目的基本方法是在改革运动大学逐步实施微积分预科和微积分改革课程，经常进行评估和传播信息，同时开设继续教育课程，培训中学和两年制大学教师。 妇女和少数民族是“数学重组”的一个特别重点。“该项目跟踪这些群体相对于其他学生如何在物质和态度上对改革课程作出反应。 最后，该设施用于加强本科研究计划，特别是少数民族和弱势群体的夏季研究计划。
