Faculty Workshop on Computer-Aided Instruction in Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

这个为期三周的夏季研讨会在新罕布什尔州大学举行 面向教授线性代数的本科数学教师 或微分方程，但对 计算机辅助教学（CAI）。 这些教师 寻求通过创建CAI材料来提高他们的教学，例如在- 课堂演示、问题集、教学大纲和操作 程序，有效地将计算机技术集成到 他们的教学计划。 上午会议调查和加强 具体的数学概念，解决发展 教学策略，并审查课程设计 材料. 每天下午，参与者分组工作， 制定，生产和评估CAI材料适合他们的 个别课程。 游客补充这些定期 关于应用和广泛的讨论和讨论的活动 计算机辅助教学提出的教学问题。 该计划的主要影响 是加强微分方程的教学， 线性代数 在这些科目中有效使用CAI可以 提高学生的数学成熟度，而不牺牲 课程内容 这一目标也是课程目标， 工程学和物理学。

This three-week summer workshop at the University of New Hampshire targets undergraduate mathematics faculty who teach linear algebra or differential equations, but have minimal experience with computer-aided instruction (CAI) in their courses. These faculty seek to enhance their teaching by creating CAI materials, e.g. in- class demonstrations, problem sets, syllabi, and operational procedures, that effectively integrate computer technology into their instructional plans. Morning sessions survey and reinforce specific mathematical concepts, address the development of pedagogical strategies, and examine the design of curriculum materials. Each afternoon, participants work in teams to formulate, produce, and evaluate CAI materials appropriate to their individual courses. Guest visitors supplement these regular activities with talks and discussions on applications and broad pedagogical issues raised by CAI. The major impact of the program is the enhancement of the teaching of differential equations and linear algebra. Effective use of CAI in these subjects can increase the mathematical maturity of students without sacrificing course content. This objective is also with curricular goals in engineering and the physical science.
