Integration of Computer Enhanced Instruction in the Mathematics Curriculum

数学系正在开办一个数学实验室，供学习代数和微积分课程的学生使用。该项目允许数学教师将新的和现有的计算机软件整合到大学代数、三角、微积分I、II和III的课程中。除了教科书出版商提供的软件外，该项目还提供了15台微型计算机、6台打印机和派生软件供数学教师使用。派生智能地应用代数、三角、微积分和矩阵代数的规则来解决广泛的数学问题。具有强大的二维(笛卡尔、极坐标和参数)和三维图形绘制功能。

The Division of Mathematics is initiating a mathematics laboratory for use by students taking algebra and calculus courses. This project permits the mathematics faculty to incorporate new and existing computer software into the curriculum of college algebra, trigonometry, calculus I, II, and III. The project provides 15 microcomputers, six printers, and Derive software for use by mathematics faculty in addition to software provided by textbook publishers. Derive intelligently applies the rules of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and matrix algebra to solve a wide range of mathematical problems. Powerful capabilities exist for both two-dimensional (Cartesian, polar, and parametric) and three- dimensional graphing.
