The aim of this project is to thoroughly integrate computer technology into the teaching of mathematics so that it supplements traditional pencil-and-paper calculations. The technology-based curricular reform began in 1989 with experimental sections of calculus using Mathematics. Today, Mathematics is being used in almost all of the departmental offerings, as well as in other courses on campus, and has become an indispensable tool for many students. It has helped students to recognize mathematics as a discipline which requires thought, experimentation, and creativity. The department has many student computer laboratories, a campus-wide network, and a site license to Mathematics. However, many college- and student-owned computers cannot run Mathematics effectively because of the memory resources it demands. Therefore, this project is purchasing a network kernel server which can handle the computational requirements of Mathematics and leave the client machines to simply display the results. This system is providing the essential next step in the curricular reform program by making Mathematics available to almost all computers on campus, enhancing its instructional impact.

该项目的目的是将计算机技术彻底融入数学教学，以补充传统的纸上计算。 1989年开始了以技术为基础的课程改革，开设了微积分应用数学实验课。 今天，数学被用于几乎所有的部门产品，以及在校园里的其他课程，并已成为许多学生不可或缺的工具。 它帮助学生认识到数学是一门需要思考、实验和创造力的学科。该部门有许多学生计算机实验室，一个校园范围的网络，和一个网站许可证数学。然而，许多大学和学生拥有的计算机不能有效地运行数学，因为它需要的内存资源。 因此，本项目正在购买一个网络核心服务器，它可以处理数学的计算需求，并让客户端机器简单地显示结果。 这个系统是提供必要的下一步课程改革计划，使数学提供给几乎所有的计算机在校园里，提高其教学效果。
