Computer Aided Instruction of Undergraduate Differential Equations

正在建立一个本科常微分方程式的计算机实验室。该项目的目标是：(1)向学生介绍解微分方程的现代计算和符号方法；(2)增加对微分方程的定性和几何行为的理解；(3)培养学生推导和解释数学模型的能力。将鼓励学生解决开放式问题，以及具有封闭式解决方案的更标准的问题。

A computer laboratory is being created for undergraduate ordinary differential equations. The goals of the project are: (1) to introduce the students to modern computational and symbolic methods for solving differential equations (2) to increase the understanding of qualitative and geometric behavior of differential equations, and (3) to develop the students' ability to derive and interpret mathematical models. Students will be encouraged to tackle open-ended problems as well as the more standard problems that have closed form solutions.
