Through this project, funds are provided to improve undergraduate mathematics education by developing a high-quality computational environment for students interested in Industrial & Applied Mathematics (IAM). The Student Applied Mathematics Computer Laboratory (SAM-LAB) is being upgraded through the purchase of networked PC workstations running both UNIX and Windows and appropriate peripheral hardware. These workstations will be connected to the campus network through the purchase of a network hub. The SAM-LAB provides a high-quality, dedicated computer environment for undergraduate majors in engineering technologies and computer science which will help them acquire strong analytical, computational, and numerical skills. Students using the SAM-LAB and its configuration of computers connected to the Internet have the opportunity to: (1) pursue advanced computational issues such as parallelization, (2) dedicate computational resources for large tasks, (3) perform carefully controlled mathematical experiments, and (4) develop an evolving portfolio consisting of a set of projects. A lab manual containing detailed objectives and procedures for each project developed during the course of this program is being compiled and will be published. Experiences with the laboratory will be publicized at regional American Mathematical Association and American Physical Society Meetings. Students are encouraged to present representative work from their portfolios at these regional meetings. Several of the laboratories using commercially available packages or in-house developed software will be distributed electronically. A select number will be published in appropriate journals.

通过这个项目，提供资金，以改善本科数学教育，为感兴趣的学生在工业应用数学（IAM）开发一个高质量的计算环境。 学生应用数学计算机实验室（SAM-LAB）正在通过购买运行UNIX和Windows的联网个人计算机工作站和适当的外围硬件进行升级。 这些工作站将通过购买一个网络集线器与校园网连接。 SAM-LAB为工程技术和计算机科学的本科专业提供了一个高质量的专用计算机环境，这将帮助他们获得强大的分析，计算和数值技能。 使用SAM-LAB及其连接到互联网的计算机配置的学生有机会：（1）追求先进的计算问题，如并行化，（2）为大型任务提供专用计算资源，（3）执行精心控制的数学实验，以及（4）开发由一组项目组成的不断发展的投资组合。 目前正在编写一份实验室手册，其中载有在该方案执行过程中制定的每个项目的详细目标和程序，并将予以出版。 实验室的经验将在美国数学协会和美国物理学会的区域会议上公布。 鼓励学生在这些区域会议上展示他们的作品集中的代表性作品。 使用商业软件包或内部开发软件的几个实验室将以电子方式分发。 一个选定的数字将在适当的期刊上发表。
