Computer Graphics Laboratories for Dynamic Modeling and Visualization of Mathematical and Scientific systems

维尔京群岛学院将帮助其科学和数学专业的学生更好地将数学函数和关系形象化，并对系统的动态行为和系统变化的影响发展一种定量的直觉，这是课堂上难以传授的认知技能。使用更强大的硬件，具有良好的图形能力和图标用户界面，再加上可供学生探索的通用工具，提供了一个获得这些技能的环境。该项目将为所有科学和数学课程提供配备此类设施的学生实验室，并使学院能够丰富其理科学生的学习经验，并增加他们接触新的计算技术。该学院将购买Macintosh图形计算机、网络硬件和软件。

The College of the Virgin Islands will help its science and mathematics students better to visualize mathematical functions and relationships, and develop a quantitative intuition for the dynamic behavior of systems and the effects of changes to systems, cognitive skills which are difficult to impart in classroom situations. The use of more powerful hardware with good graphics capabilities and an icon user interface, coupled with availability of general tools for student exploration, provides an environment where these skills can be acquired. This project will provide student labs equipped with such facilities for use in all science and mathematics programs, and enable the College to enrich its science students' learning experiences and increase their exposure to new computing techniques. The college will purchase Macintosh graphics computers, networking hardware, and software.
