Dynamic Calculus

波士顿大学的一位流体动力学专家将开发教学模块，将现代动力系统理论的思想纳入标准的微积分入门课程。这个项目的目的是用当前的研究兴趣来增加微积分的内容。材料可以在微积分序列的早期引入，这样学生就可以早期接触到当代数学研究兴趣的主题，数学中的计算机实验，以及令人兴奋的数学视觉图像。在这一年中，计划授予几个模块，展示如何将动力学中的某些主题整合到微积分中，以及“动态微积分”在科学中的作用将得到发展。超过三分之一的项目费用将由波士顿大学提供。

An expert fluid dynamicist at Boston University will develop instructional modules, which incorporate ideas from modern dynamical systems theory into the standard introductory calculus course. The purpose of this project is to augment the calculus with topics of current research interest. Materials can be introduced early in a calculus sequence so that students receive early exposure to topics of contemporary research interest in mathematics, computer experimentation in mathematics, and exciting mathematical visual images. During this one year planning grant several modules which show how certain topics in dynamics may be integrated into calculus, and the role of 'dynamical calculus' in science will be developed. Over one third of the project's cost will be provided by Boston University.
