The Development of a Facility for Symbolically-Aided Instruction in Mathematics and Physics.

锡耶纳学院将承担开发和实施计算机辅助教学系统的数学和物理具有高水平的符号能力。该系统将使用带有SMP的Micro VAX II， SMP是一种可编程符号操作程序，它将使学生用户能够在代数级别上与计算机通信。软件开发将由锡耶纳的软件工程班进行，在首席研究员和其他相关教师的监督下。该设施将被整合到普通物理和数学入门课程中，并将在高级物理课程中由学生辅助使用。

Siena College will undertake the development and implementation of a computer-assisted instructional system in mathematics and physics with high-level symbolic capabilities. The system will utilize a Micro VAX II with SMP, a programmable symbol-manipulation program which will enable student users to communicate with the computer at an algebraic level. Software development will be carried out by Siena's Software Engineering class, under supervision of the principal investigator and other involved faculty. The facility will be integrated into the general physics and introductory mathematics courses, and will be used secondarily by students in the advanced physics courses.
