The Use of Hand-Held Computer Algebra System Calculators Throughout the Mathematics Curriculum

数学科学(21)该项目正在提供一个大规模的、多阶段的努力，以基于CAS(计算机代数系统)技术的存在来重新设计整个量化课程。有几个课本的材料改编，包括数学在行动中，在现实世界中的作用，和互动的微分方程式。教育科技现正融入每一门课程。计划的阶段包括：*编制适当的教材，以实施一项详细而全面的计划，而这项计划已获全体教职员制订和同意，以便将计算机辅助科技全面融入所有适当的数学课程和相关的科学及科技课程。直接使用CAS正在被纳入微积分和更高级别的所有课程。微积分以下的所有课程(包括发展数学、代数和微积分预科，以及所有相关的科学和技术课程)正在完全重新设计，以反映CAS的存在及其在高等课程中的使用。*教师发展和培训计划，特别是针对兼职教师的计划，为实施做好准备。*新课程的实际实施、评估和修订的几个阶段。*对项目进行全面评估。*开发项目网站。*开展各种区域和国家宣传活动，使各专业团体了解对整个课程进行广泛反思的结果。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The project is providing for a large-scale, multi-stage effort to redesign the entire quantitative curriculum based on the existence of CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) technology. There is adaptation of materials from several texts including Mathematics in Action, Functioning in a Real World, and Interactive Differential Equations. Educational technology is being incorporated into every course.The project stages include: * The development of appropriate materials to implement a detailed and comprehensive plan that has already been developed and agreed to by all the faculty for full integration of CAS technology into all appropriate courses in mathematics and related courses in the sciences and technology. The direct use of CAS is being incorporated into all courses at the calculus and higher levels. All courses below calculus (including developmental mathematics, algebra and precalculus, as well as all related courses in the sciences and technology) are being completely redesigned to reflect the existence of CAS and its use in the higher courses. * A faculty development and training program, especially for part-time faculty, to prepare for the mplementation. * The actual implementation, evaluation, and several stages of revision of the new curriculum. * Full scale evaluation of the project. * Development of a project web site. * A variety of regional and national dissemination activities to acquaint the various professional communities with the results of such an extensive rethinking of the entire curriculum.
