A Computer Laboratory for Teaching Mathematics and Honors Project

该项目将支持建立一个微型计算机实验室，该实验室将用于从微积分到荣誉项目的数学课程。总体目标是鼓励学生培养对数学的实验态度，将计算机作为一个实验室，以加强直观的洞察力，提出猜测，并阐明数学的理论和应用。该项目将对伊丽莎白城州立大学产生重大影响，并可作为其他以少数民族为主的小型高等教育机构的典范，为学生进入21世纪的劳动大军做准备，并鼓励学生从事数学研究生工作。

This project will support the establishment of a microcomputer Laboratory that will be used in mathematics courses from calculus through honors projects. The overall objective is to encourage students to develop an experimental attitude toward mathematics by using the computer as a laboratory for strengthening intuitive insight, suggesting conjectures, and illuminating the theory and application of mathematics. This project will have significant impact on Elizabeth City State University and can serve as a model for other small, predominately minority institutions of higher education preparing students to enter the 21-st century work force and encouraging students to pursue graduate work in mathematics.
