The Division of Mathematics has reflected the national trend toward integrating computing technology into its instruction, but to date that has been limited to hand-held graphing calculators. In order to implement further curricular changes our students must have access to desktop personal computers running mathematical software. This project implements a computer laboratory for classroom instruction and student use in differential equations and statistics. By adapting and implementing materials and practices from projects including the work on differential equations by Blanchard, Devaney, Coleman, Borelli and others and the work on statistics by Rossman, Schaeffer and others, these courses enhance instruction and broaden student activities to include work on computationally intensive real world problems. Although the initial focus is on two specific subject areas, we intend to extend the impact of the laboratory to other mathematics areas such as linear algebra and operations research.

数学系反映了全国将计算技术融入教学的趋势，但迄今为止，这仅限于手持图形计算器。为了实施进一步的课程改革，我们的学生必须能够使用运行数学软件的台式个人电脑。这个项目实现了一个计算机实验室的课堂教学和学生使用微分方程和统计。通过调整和实施的材料和实践项目，包括工作的微分方程由布兰查德，德瓦尼，科尔曼，博雷利和其他人和工作的统计罗斯曼，谢弗和其他人，这些课程提高教学和扩大学生的活动，包括计算密集型真实的世界问题的工作。虽然最初的重点是两个特定的学科领域，我们打算扩大实验室的影响，以其他数学领域，如线性代数和运筹学。
