The project is an Indiana University System effort to restructure the ways in which mathematics relates to the rest of the undergraduate curriculum. The collaborating institutions are IU-Bloomington, IUPUI/Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis, IU-East, IU-Kokomo, IU- Northwest, IU-South Bend, IU-Southeast, and IUPU-Fort Wayne. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a new framework for collaboration between mathematics departments and the faculties of other disciplines, as well as a new culture among undergraduates that will revitalize the learning of mathematics and reinvigorate undergraduate education. There are three interrelated objectives: 1) To create interdisciplinary courses in which students learn new mathematical ideas and acquire new tools through contextualizes problem solving and which involve the cooperation of the mathematics faculty with other faculty from a variety of disciplines. 2) To change student attitudes toward mathematics by developing an academic and social infrastructure to encourage all students to see the relationship to other subjects, the real world, and their own ambitions and goals; 3) To change the academic infrastructure to make permanent positive changes in the teaching and learning of mathematics on the eight Indiana University campuses and beyond.

该项目是一个印第安纳州大学系统的努力，以重组的方式，数学与本科课程的其余部分。 合作机构是IU-Bloomington，IUPUI/印第安纳州大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯，IU-East，IU-Kokomo，IU-Northwest，IU-South弯曲，IU-Southeast和IUPU-Fort韦恩。 该项目的最终目标是为数学系和其他学科的院系之间的合作建立一个新的框架，以及在本科生中建立一种新的文化，这将振兴数学学习和振兴本科教育。 有三个相互关联的目标： 第一章 创建跨学科课程，让学生学习新的数学思想，并通过情境化问题解决获得新的工具，并涉及数学教师与来自不同学科的其他教师的合作。 （二） 通过发展学术和社会基础设施来改变学生对数学的态度，以鼓励所有学生看到与其他学科，真实的世界以及他们自己的抱负和目标的关系; 第三章 改变学术基础设施，使八个印第安纳州大学校园及其他地区的数学教学发生永久性的积极变化。
