Through this project, the computers necessary to build a combined laboratory-classroom dedicated to an integrated style of learning in calculus and precalculus are supplied. The purpose of this laboratory-classroom, with its accompanying change in pedagogy and textbook, is to enhance students' understanding of the basic concepts and appropriate applications of calculus. This will come about through a change in the style of instruction to one that requires fluidity of activity during the class period. This computer laboratory integrates computer use completely into the classroom activities. The facility reflects multi-use need, with large tables enabling groups of 2 or 3 students to work together, blackboards around the room so the entire class can be in groups at the board at the same time, and space for faculty to circulate among students to offer advice. The room is designed to allow frequent switching from one type of activity to another with minimal disruption.

通过这个项目，必要的计算机，以建立一个实验室，教室致力于在微积分和微积分预科学习的综合风格提供。 这个实验室教室的目的，其伴随的教学法和教科书的变化，是提高学生的基本概念和微积分的适当应用的理解。 这将通过改变教学方式来实现，这种方式要求在课堂上活动的流动性。 这个计算机实验室将计算机的使用完全融入到课堂活动中。 该设施反映了多用途的需求，大桌子使2或3名学生的小组一起工作，黑板周围的房间，使整个班级可以在小组在董事会在同一时间，和空间的教师在学生之间流通提供建议。 该房间的设计允许频繁地从一种类型的活动切换到另一种类型的活动，最大限度地减少干扰。
