IDP: Portfolios to Increase the Number of Women in Mathematics

该项目建立并扩展了一个成功的微积分改革项目，重点是在纽约市立大学曼哈顿分校的微积分序列中招募和留住少数民族学生。该项目强调在复杂的现实世界问题上的协作工作，使用适当的技术，制作算法的电影动画，创建作品集和做研究。这个项目将这种互动的、动态的学习环境扩展到微积分预科课程和统计学课程。项目成果应反映出选修微积分课程的女性人数的增加，提高女性在微积分预科和统计学课程中的保留率，并提高女性成为数学专业学生的可能性。

This project builds and expands upon a successful Calculus Reform Project focused on recruiting and retaining minority students in the calculus sequence at CUNY-Manhattan. The program emphasizes collaborative work on complex, real world problems, using appropriate technology, making film animations of algorithms, creating portfolios and doing research. This project extends this interactive, dynamic learning environment to pre-calculus courses as well as to statistics courses. Project results should reflect an increase in the number of women enrolling in calculus courses, improve the retention of women in pre-calculus and statistics courses, and improve the likelihood of women becoming mathematics majors.
