Facilitating Student Access to Mathematics Programs - A Mathematics Learning Center.

迪尔伯恩大学数学与统计系寻求资金，用于装备学生导师和基于技术的数学学习中心（MLC）。 所需设备包括计算机硬件和有关软件以及视听工作站。 创建这一新设施的目的是为了提高获得数学课程的学生在三个层次（一）大一补救水平（二）大一-大二微积分序列水平（三）初中-高中集中的程序水平，重点是nonconcentrators。 现有的数据显示，在这三个级别的课程有一个指定的先决条件的课程，在澳门大学-D完成的先决条件的课程和那些谁没有之间的巨大差异。 MLC将为大量目前难以在开始阶段以外的阶段加入数学课程结构化序列的学生提供数学课程。 这项建议得到了该部执行委员会的赞同。 超过一半的全职教师在该部门作出了积极贡献，其制定。 MLC委员会主席，本提案的主要研究者，是系主任。 它还得到了中央行政部门的热情支持，这体现在一些赠款上，包括最近为目前正在进行的一个项目开发试点项目提供的12，000美元工资赠款 *

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Michigan-Dearborn seeks funding for equipping a student-tutor and technology- based Mathematics Learning Center (MLC). The equipment requested includes computer hardware and related software and audio-visual workstations. Creation of this new facility is proposed for the purpose of improving access to the mathematics program for students at three levels (I) the freshman remedial level (II) the freshman-sophomore calculus sequence level (III) the junior-senior concentrators' program level, with emphasis on nonconcentrators. Existing data show wide discrepancies, in courses at these three levels having a specified prerequisite course, between students who completed the prerequisite course at UM-D and those who did not. The MLC will facilitate access to the mathematics program for large numbers of students who currently experience difficulty in joining a structured sequence of mathematics courses at a stage other than the beginning. This proposal has the endorsement of the Department Executive Committee. More than half the full-time faculty in the Department have contributed actively to its formulation. The MLC Committee chair, the principal investigator in this proposal, is the department chair. It also has the enthusiastic support of central administration, demonstrated through a number of grants, including a recent $12,000 salary grant for a program development pilot project, currently under way *
