The modern workplace needs more mathematically and technologically literate graduates in introductory college mathematics and calculus than it is receiving. To address this need, a consortium of five New Mexico community colleges and the state's mathematics association of two-year colleges created the New Mexico Initiative for Math Reform. The project is designed to help improve student learning in introductory college mathematics and calculus through mathematics reform and technology. Classroom intervention is being achieved by increasing and continuing the professional development of regional mathematics faculty member in the ways of mathematics reform and use of computer classrooms to implement reform. The method of operation is the recursive application of sessions and workshops in which the participants, after acquiring and honing the techniques of mathematics reform, fan out across the region and host their own workshops. This iteration of workshops ensures an "exponential delivery" of the material. The region to be serviced is New Mexico and adjacent areas of its bordering states. The partners are the Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute, New Mexico Military Institute, New Mexico State University at Alamogordo, New Mexico State University at Dona Ana, University of New Mexico at Valencia, San Juan Community College, and one professional organization, New Mexico Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges. The impact is on the students of introductory college mathematics and calculus. The project has the potential of reaching every such student in the New Mexican region. The project is being evaluated with the aid of an outside investigator both formatively and summatively. The results of the project are being disseminated by the participants themselves through their own workshops, by presentations to professional organizations such as the American Association of Two Year Colleges, and by publications in scholarly journals.

现代工作场所需要更多的数学和技术素养的毕业生在介绍大学数学和微积分比它接收。为了满足这一需求，一个由五所新墨西哥州社区学院和该州两年制学院数学协会组成的联盟创建了新墨西哥州数学改革倡议。该项目旨在通过数学改革和技术来帮助提高学生在入门大学数学和微积分方面的学习。 课堂干预是通过增加和继续数学改革和使用计算机教室实施改革的方式，区域数学教员的专业发展来实现的。 操作方法是递归应用会议和讲习班，其中参与者，在获得和磨练数学改革的技术，扇出整个地区和主机自己的讲习班。这种讲习班的重复确保了材料的“指数交付”。服务的地区是新墨西哥州及其周边各州的邻近地区。合作伙伴是阿尔伯克基技术职业学院、新墨西哥州军事学院、位于阿拉莫戈多的新墨西哥州州立大学、位于多纳安娜的新墨西哥州州立大学、位于瓦伦西亚的新墨西哥州大学、圣胡安社区学院和一个专业组织，即新墨西哥州两年制学院数学协会。影响是对学生的介绍大学数学和微积分。该项目有可能覆盖新墨西哥州的每一个学生。该项目正在一名外部调查员的协助下进行形成性和总结性评估。项目的成果由参与者自己通过自己的讲习班、向美国两年制学院协会等专业组织介绍情况以及在学术期刊上发表文章来传播。
