Technology in the Upper-Level Undergraduate Mathematics Curriculum

随着复杂的计算机代数系统的出现，速度和内存的增加，以及互联网的出现，计算机已经成为许多数学家不仅在他们的研究中，而且在他们的教学中必不可少的。这个为期一周的研讨会将在德堡大学校园举行，重点是为学习几何和抽象代数的学生在本科课程中使用计算机。工作坊的安排将包括讲座/示范、实践工作坊、短期课程和非正式讨论。讲习班的工作人员将包括在这些领域使用技术的领导者。将维持一个万维网网站，以便就讲习班的主题交换意见。一些参与者将编写新的课程材料，预计在1997年秋季开始分发。

With the advent of sophisticated computer algebra systems, increased speed and memory, and the Internet, the computer has become essential for many mathematicians not only in their research but also in their teaching. This week long workshop, which will be held on the DePauw University campus, will focus on computing in the undergraduate curriculum for students studying geometry and abstract algebra. The schedule of the workshop will include lecture/demonstrations, hands-on workshops, short courses and informal discussions. The staff of the workshop will include leaders in the use of technology in these areas. A World Wide Web site will be maintained to exchange ideas on the theme of the workshop. New course materials will be developed by some of the participants, anticipated for initial distribution in the fall of 1997.
