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.

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。 本课程的目的是鼓励学生以电脑为实验室，培养实验的数学态度，以加强直觉的洞察力，提出建议，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，并可作为其他小型、少数民族为主的高等教育机构的典范，为学生进入21世纪世纪劳动力市场做好准备，并鼓励学生攻读数学研究生。
