This project is developing a computer laboratory to strengthen undergraduate mathematics education and teacher preparation. The computer laboratory is allwoign for a sgignificant change in active participation in learning. Problem-solving skills, situational strategies, and solid understanding of concepts are resulting from the laboratory format. The calculus sequence and linear algebra are using the laboratory format, as are other upper-level courses. The laboratory is also having a strong impact ont he preparation of secondary mathematics majors. An in-depth exposure to this format is developing an understanding o the inter dependence of analytical, numberical, and graphical mthods, which is carrying over to the way these potential instuctors will teach mathematics. A course is being developed emphasizing technology, in which students can create lessons (using Maple, Geometer's Sketch Pad, Cabri Geometry, spreadsheets, etc.), review software for their techig, create online exams and assessment activites, and sue the World Wide Web to obtain material involving mathematics education. Secondary education mathematics majors are participating in "Mentor to Mentor" workshops that use unversity students to "mentor" the high school techers in using Maple, while the in-service teachoers "mentor" the students in mathematical pedagogy. *

本计画是发展一个电脑实验室，以加强本科数学教育与师资培养。计算机实验室是一个标志性的变化，积极参与学习。解决问题的能力，情境策略，和概念的坚实的理解是从实验室的形式。微积分序列和线性代数使用实验室格式，其他高级课程也是如此。该实验室也对中学数学专业的准备产生了很大的影响。深入接触这种格式是发展的理解的相互依赖的分析，数字和图形的方法，这是结转到这些潜在的教师将教数学的方式。正在开发一门强调技术的课程，学生可以在其中创建课程（使用Maple、几何画板、卡布里几何、电子表格等），审查他们的技术软件，创建在线考试和评估活动，并起诉万维网获得涉及数学教育的材料。中等教育数学专业的学生正在参加“导师对导师”讲习班，利用大学生“辅导”高中教师使用Maple，而在职教师“辅导”学生数学教学法。 *
