This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. We utilize computers at the RBVI Resource to give high school students insights into mathematical ideas. Computer graphics provide students unique ways to visualize and manipulate mathematical objects (e.g., graphs and geometric objects). Computer graphics also presents wonderful motivation for exploring mathematical ideas. The real-time manipulation facilities of MidasPlus and Chimera offers incentives to young students to study matrix representations of coordinate transformations. One student, in particular, has excelled at this method of learning to the point that he was employed by the RBVI Resource each of three summers as a student doing advanced computer programming.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 我们利用计算机在RBVI资源，让高中学生深入了解数学思想。 计算机图形学为学生提供了可视化和操纵数学对象的独特方法（例如，图形和几何对象）。 计算机图形学也为探索数学思想提供了极好的动力。 MidasPlus和Chimera的实时操作设施为年轻学生学习坐标变换的矩阵表示提供了激励。 特别是有一个学生，他在这种学习方法上表现出色，以至于他在三个夏天的每个夏天都被RBVI资源雇用，作为一个做高级计算机编程的学生。
