Laboratories in Applied Mathematics

学生们在计算机实验室环境中使用Sun工作站，以便更好地理解科学、工程和社会科学的实践者是如何实际使用数学的。应用数学和数学计算的五门高级课程是这个项目的重点：微分方程；数学模型;数值分析;计算机图形学;和组合。这些计算机具有高性能的图形和模拟功能，使具有一年微积分背景的学生能够处理相当复杂的应用程序。以前，没有更广泛的数学准备的学生被排除在这个级别的课程之外。大学将提供相当于奖金的金额。

Students are using Sun workstations in a computer laboratory setting in order to gain a better understanding of how mathematics is actually used by practitioners in science, engineering, and social science. Five advanced courses in applied mathematics and mathematical computation are the focus of this project: differential equations; mathematical models; numerical analysis; computer graphics; and combinatorics. The computers, with high powered graphics and simulation capabilities, allow students with a background of one year of calculus to deal with rather complex applications. Previously students without more extensive preparation in mathematics were excluded from courses at this level. The University will contribute an amount equal to the award.
