The University of South Alabama will conduct during the summers of 1996 and 1997 a series of four four-day hands-on workshops for two and four-year college faculty on the appropriate use of the Texas Instruments TI-85 and TI-92 graphics calculators in collegiate mathematics. Two of the workshops will take place during the Summer of 1996 and two will be scheduled for the Summer of 1997. The purpose of the workshops is to engage participants in developing an intellectual framework for the appropriate use of the graphing calculator in the study and teaching of precalculus, calculus, differential equations, matrix theory and elementary statistics. This will be accomplished both by having participants work through material developed by the PIs and also by having participants create their own materials. Upon completion of one of these workshops participants will be able to: 1) make appropriate use of the graphing calculator, and address the technical and pedagogical issues such usage involves; 2) return to their home institutions and take the lead in the appropriate introduction of the graphing calculator into their curricula; and 3) help build a coalition between two and four-year institutions so as to foster a more coordinated effort in the teaching of collegiate mathematics courses.

南阿拉巴马大学将在1996年和1997年夏季为两年和四年制大学教职员工举办一系列为期四天的实践讲习班，讲授德州仪器公司的TI-85和TI-92图形计算器在大学数学中的适当使用。其中两个讲习班将于1996年夏季举行，另两个定于1997年夏季举行。讲习班的目的是让学员参与制定一个智力框架，以便在微积分预科、微积分、微分方程式、矩阵理论和基础统计学的研究和教学中适当使用图形计算器。这将通过让参与者编写由私人投资机构编写的材料和让参与者创建自己的材料来实现。在完成其中一个讲习班后，学员将能够：1)适当使用图形计算器，并解决这种使用所涉及的技术和教学问题；2)返回本国机构，并带头将图形计算器适当地引入其课程；以及3)帮助建立两年制和四年制机构之间的联盟，以促进大学数学课程教学的更协调努力。
