Exploratory Mathematics for Underrepresented Groups

9350999 Natayan基于加州大学伯克利分校的Uri Treisman教授开创的专业发展计划的成功，一个新兴学者计划正在作为数学系和数学学习中心的一个新的联合倡议，以增加少数民族学生在需要强大的数学和科学准备的领域攻读学位的人数。由于数学系现有的计算机将大量用于支持一般数学课程，因此正在开发一个专门用于代表性不足群体学生的实验室。该实验室将有两个主要目的：它将提供一个中心，让学生在计算机、教师和导师的帮助下学习探索和解决数学问题；它将提供一个设施，学生可以在一个致力于合作学习的环境中单独或小组学习。＊＊＊

9350999 Natayan An Emerging Scholars Program based on the success of the Professional Development Program pioneered by Professor Uri Treisman at the University of California at Berkeley is being developed as a new joint initiative of the mathematics department and the Mathematics Learning Center to increase the number of minority students pursuing degrees in areas that require strong mathematics and science preparation. Because the existing computers in the Mathematics Department will be heavily used in support of general mathematics courses, a laboratory which can be dedicated specifically to students from underrepresented groups is being developed. The laboratory will serve two primary purposes: It will provide a center where students learn to explore and solve mathematical problems with the aid of the computer, faculty and tutors; It will provide a facility where students can work individually or in groups in an environment dedicated to cooperative learning. ***
