Mathematical Sciences (21). A Center for Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in mathematics is being developed, and the Center has incorporated inquiry-based methods into several mathematics courses. The main goal of the project is to develop IBL materials and continue to refine and integrate IBL techniques into the mathematics curriculum. Courses include upper division courses for mathematics majors and pre-service teachers. An important component of the project is to train faculty, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows in the use of inquiry-based methods and to encourage the use of these techniques at other institutions. Another critical component of the project is the evaluation of (1) the materials being developed and (2) inquiry-based learning and its implementation.Intellectual merit. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the development of students to help sharpen their analytic skills and better enable them to attack problems independently and creatively, and in the training program to prepare faculty, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows to teach IBL courses.Broader impacts. The IBL materials being developed are available to other institutions. Likewise, through the training of graduate students (teaching assistants) and post-doctoral fellows, many of whom teach at other institutions, the methods and lessons learned from the project are impacting a large number and variety of institutions of higher education. Additional impact is occurring through the Center for Inquiry-Department Learning, which is a member of the Education Advancement Foundation - an organization that promotes development and dissemination of inquiry-based learning in mathematics.

数学科学（21）。正在建立一个以探究为基础的数学学习中心，该中心已将以探究为基础的方法纳入若干数学课程。该项目的主要目标是开发IBL材料，并继续完善IBL技术并将其整合到数学课程中。课程包括数学专业高年级课程和职前教师课程。该项目的一个重要组成部分是培训教师、研究生和博士后如何使用基于探究的方法，并鼓励其他机构使用这些技术。该项目的另一个重要组成部分是评估(1)正在开发的材料和(2)基于探究的学习及其实施。知识价值。该项目的智力价值在于培养学生，帮助他们提高分析能力，使他们能够更好地独立和创造性地解决问题，并为教师、研究生和博士后教授IBL课程做好准备。更广泛的影响。正在编制的IBL材料可供其他机构使用。同样，通过培训研究生（助教）和博士后研究员（其中许多人在其他机构任教），从该项目中吸取的方法和经验教训正在影响大量不同的高等教育机构。通过作为教育促进基金会成员的研究性部门学习中心也产生了其他影响，该基金会是一个促进发展和传播以探究为基础的数学学习的组织。
