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）.正在建立一个数学探究式学习中心，该中心已将探究式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技术并将其融入数学课程。课程包括数学专业和职前教师的高级课程。该项目的一个重要组成部分是培训教师、研究生和博士后研究员使用基于调查的方法，并鼓励在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）正在编写的材料和（2）基于探究的学习及其实施。该项目的智力价值在于学生的发展，以帮助提高他们的分析技能，更好地使他们能够独立和创造性地解决问题，并在培训计划，以准备教师，研究生和博士后研究员教授IBL课程。更广泛的影响。其他机构也可以使用正在编制的国际商业图书馆材料。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），该项目的方法和经验教训正在影响到大量和各种高等教育机构。通过研究系学习中心产生了额外的影响，该中心是教育促进基金会的成员，该基金会是一个促进数学研究学习的发展和传播的组织。
