Development of a Computer Lab Manual for use in a First Course in Abstract Algebra

数学科学（21）这个项目开发和创建一个全面的计算机实验室手册，这是专为在本科抽象代数类使用。该手册包括一组项目和学生练习，帮助阐明和说明抽象代数概念的集合。此外，本手册还包括为练习和连贯性提供背景的说明。许多计算机项目旨在引导学生对一个组，环或字段的结构进行具体说明。练习和项目也为学生和教师提供了丰富的例子来源。计算机用于消除一些手工计算的需要，并允许学生研究更大和更详细的例子。该手册通过提供小组项目和与技术的互动，使学生参与积极的学习环境。2001年8月，第一个网站出现。目前的教学资源，将技术整合到高年级数学课程，相对有限。这本手册提供了这样一个资源领域的抽象代数。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This project develops and creates a comprehensive computer lab manual, which is designed for use in an undergraduate abstract algebra class. The manual consists of a collection of group projects and student exercises that help illuminate and illustrate abstract algebra concepts. In addition, this manual includes exposition providing a context for the exercises and coherence. Many of the computer projects are designed to lead the student to specific conjectures about the structure of a group, ring, or field. The exercises and projects also provide the students and instructor with a rich source of examples. The computer is used to eliminate some of the need for computation by hand and allow the students to investigate larger and more elaborate examples. The manual engages students in an active learning environment by providing group projects and interaction with technology. An initial web site appeared in August of 2001. Current teaching resources, which integrate technology into upper division mathematics courses, are relatively limited. This manual provides such a resource for the area of abstract algebra.
