Macintosh computers with Maple software are being used in a laboratory component of calculus III and differential equations. The implementation of this plan is affecting students in the mathematics and pre-engineering programs. The introduction of computer technology as a laboratory tool in calculus III and differential equations is enhancing the teaching of these courses in many ways. The opportunity for the student to create many examples allows the student to make and test more conjectures than would be possible without technology. The computers allow for the introduction of more sophisticated examples from real data. This technology enables the student to see mathematics as an active tool for solving realistic problems, as opposed to viewing it as an abstract, isolated discipline. The impact of the project is reaching beyond the scope of these two courses. The pedagogy developed during this program is intended to enable the mathematics department to create laboratory components in future courses in the mathematics program. *

装有Maple软件的Macintosh计算机被用于微积分III和微分方程的实验室组成部分。该计划的实施对数学和工程预科课程的学生产生了影响。在微积分III和微分方程中引入计算机技术作为实验工具，在许多方面加强了这些课程的教学。学生创造许多例子的机会使学生能够做出和测试更多的猜想，而不是没有技术。计算机允许从真实数据中引入更复杂的例子。这种技术使学生将数学视为解决现实问题的积极工具，而不是将其视为抽象的、孤立的学科。项目的影响已经超出了这两门课程的范围。在此课程中开发的教学法旨在使数学系能够在数学课程的未来课程中创建实验室组件。＊
