Development of Computer-Based Curriculum Materials for Calculus: A Planning Project

华盛顿州立大学的数学家将为微积分开发、协调和编写基于计算机的多学科课程材料，将在两所高中、一所社区学院、一所私立学院和一所公立大学实施。工程微积分、生命科学微积分和商业微积分的通用课程材料将由来自工程、生物、化学、商业和社会学的教师开发。这些材料将包括使用HP-28等计算设备和使用符号处理程序的微型计算机的“实验室”练习。这些现实的问题将使用数值方法来说明计算和图解问题的力量、难度和逻辑。还将开发带有动画和静态计算机图形的电子幻灯片，用于课堂演示和讲课。主要研究人员都是知名的研究人员，他们在数学教育方面有广泛的经验。他们将与普尔曼高中、莫斯科高中、斯波坎瀑布社区学院和贡扎加大学密切合作。

Mathematicians at Washington State University will develop, coordinate, and write multi-disciplined computer-based curriculum materials for calculus to be implemented at two high schools, a community college, a private college and a public university. Generic curriculum materials for engineering calculus, calculus for life sciences, and business calculus will be developed by faculty from engineering, biology, chemistry, business and sociology. The materials will include "laboratory" exercises that use computing devices such as HP-28 and microcomputers using symbolic manipulation programs. These realistic problems will use numerical methods that illustrate the power, difficulties and logic of computation and graphical solution to problems. Electronic "slide shows" with both animated and static computer graphics of classroom demonstrations and lectures will also be developed. The principal investigators are well known researchers, who have wide range experience in mathematics education. They will work closely with Pullman and Moscow High Schools, Spokane Falls Community College and Gonzaga University.
