A Computer Component for Main-Track Calculus

该项目将支持康涅狄格大学致力于低级数学教学的计算机实验室。它是由仪器和实验室改进计划(ILI)资助的，该计划的明确目标是“通过支持开发新的或改进的基于仪器的本科实验室和/或科学、数学或工程领域的课程来提高本科课程的质量”。这个项目的主旨是努力将计算整合到为期三个学期的主线微积分序列的大课堂部分中。将安排定期的实验时间，学生将被要求修改现有的程序并编写新的程序。

This project will support a computer laboratory dedicated to lower-division mathematics instruction at the University of Connecticut. It is being funded under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which has the stated goal of improving "the quality of the undergraduate curriculum by supporting projects to develop new or improved instrument-based undergraduate laboratory and/or field courses in science, mathematics, or engineering." The major thrust of this project will involve an effort to integrate computing into large lecture sections of a three-semester main-track calculus sequence. Regular laboratory periods will be scheduled and students will be asked to modify existing programs and to write new programs.
