Multimedia Mathematical Computation in Undergraduate Instruction

通过这一项目，正在开发一种新的计算机设施，以便：（1）支持在各级使用多媒体材料，（2）向高年级学生提供提高其就业能力的工具。 从20世纪80年代初的十年的时间，该部门已聘请计算机来帮助学生可视化的数学概念教。 然而，该部门最近发现自己无法利用现代多媒体工具在教学中，无论是在准备学生逐步更多的计算机为导向的就业市场，或在使最早的课程更可口的谨慎的学生。 此外，学生们使用的设备甚至与他们毕业后可能使用的设备完全不同。 该项目是解决这一问题的一种尝试。

Through this project a new computer facility is being developed to: 1) support the use of multimedia materials at all levels, and 2) provide senior students tools that will enhance their employability. From a time early in the decade of the 1980s, the department has employed computers to assist students in visualizing the mathematics concepts taught. However, the department has recently found itself unable to avail itself of modern multimedia tools in instruction, either in preparing students for a progressively more computer-oriented job market or in making the earliest courses more palatable to wary students. Moreover, students are not using equipment that is even remotely similar to what they will likely use after they graduate. This project represents an attempt to address this concern.
