Undergraduate students, especially those planning majors in non-science disciplines, frequently do not see mathematics as relevant to their education. They often find it difficult to comprehend the relevance of mathematical concepts in their chosen majors and the usefulness of mathematics for their educational development. The main goal of this project is to improve the mathematics literacy of students majoring in the social sciences, behavioral sciences, and humanities by means of Web-based interdisciplinary and interactive lessons. The project team also believes that the interactive lessons will enable the students to develop their critical thinking and quantitative skills, and to become better citizens. The Web-based (on-line) lessons are being developed by faculty educators in Mathematics, Business & Economics, Music, and Philosophy working together. The project effort is a tri-institutional collaboration among Washington State University, the University of Idaho, and North Idaho College, a two-year institution. The project is increasing the integration of technology in education and supporting faculty development.

本科生，特别是那些非科学学科的规划专业的学生，经常不认为数学与他们的教育有关。他们往往发现很难理解数学概念在他们所选择的专业的相关性和数学对他们的教育发展的有用性。本计画的主要目的是透过网路上的跨学科互动式教学，提升社会科学、行为科学、人文科学等专业学生的数学素养。 项目团队还认为，互动课程将使学生能够发展他们的批判性思维和定量技能，并成为更好的公民。基于网络的（在线）课程正在开发的教师教育工作者在数学，商业经济学，音乐和哲学合作。该项目是华盛顿州立大学、爱达荷州大学和北爱达荷州学院（一所两年制大学）之间的三机构合作。 该项目正在增加技术在教育中的整合，并支持教师的发展。
