This project constructs two portable computer laboratories, one in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, and the other in the College of Business's Department of Decision Sciences. The laboratories, made of laptop computers, do not require that a classroom be converted into a computer facility. The classroom is made more versatile by having network access. The two departments are collaborating on revitalizing Business Calculus. The traditional course is being replaced by one that focuses on analyzing real-world business applications and that makes heavy use of standard business software, e.g., spreadsheets; the interdisciplinary aspect of the team of investigators ensures that the material developed is truly applicable to business. Symbolic algebra programs are used for higher-level symbolic analysis. The students have laboratory projects that they must analyze and solve and for which they must submit written reports. The projects are designed to be used in, and thus enhance, both courses.

这个项目建造了两个便携式计算机实验室，一个在数学科学系，另一个在商学院的决策科学系。实验室由笔记本电脑组成，不需要将教室改装成计算机设施。通过网络接入，教室变得更加多样化。这两个部门正在合作重振商业微积分。传统的课程正在被一门侧重于分析现实世界商业应用程序并大量使用标准商业软件的课程所取代，例如电子表格；调查团队的跨学科方面确保所开发的材料真正适用于商业。符号代数程序用于更高级别的符号分析。学生们有实验项目，他们必须分析和解决这些项目，并提交书面报告。这些项目旨在用于这两门课程，从而增强这两门课程的能力。
