Calculus, Computers, and Mathematica

正在为第三学期微积分和微分方程式的学生开发一个计算机实验室。该实验室以MATHEMICAL A为基础，使用Next计算机。学生们每周上三堂课，然后上两个小时的闭门实验室。计算机实验室是丰富讲课中提出的想法的一种手段，并为学生提供机会详细研究这些想法的含义和可能性，因为冗长耗时的计算被归因于计算机。

A computer laboratory is being developed for students in third semester calculus and differential equations. The laboratory is based upon Mathematica and makes use of NEXT Computers. Students attend three lectures a week and then a two hour "closed" laboratory. The computer laboratories are a means of enriching the ideas presented in lectures and provide an opportunity for students to study at length the implications and possibilities of these ideas since the tedious time consuming calculations are relegated to the computer.
