A Computing Classroom - Laboratory For Undergraduate Mathematics Instruction

9352676 Gilliam Texax理工大学正在创建一个计算机化的教室-实验室，这将对本科科学和数学教育产生重大影响。首先，它为未来的数学和科学教师提供了一个课堂环境，在这个环境中教授“数学和科学的计算技术”（CTMS）课程，以及使用枫叶的荣誉微积分。这允许演示和指导，而学生在课堂上获得实践经验。这个设备也被用作实验室，学生可以在这里完成作业和项目，使用他们在课堂上处理的相同的计算格式。CTMS主要招收数学专业的微积分后学生或寻求中学数学教师资格认证的学生。本课程包括主要使用MATLAB和Maple开发编程、数值计算和符号操作技能的主题。它还为越来越多在课堂上使用电脑的中学教师提供所需的培训。特别是，拉伯克独立学区最近在中学课程中实施了计算机代数系统的使用。数学系以CTMS课程为蓝本，开设了一个特别的暑期工作坊，旨在向中学教师介绍现代计算机系统的使用。由于许多来自拉伯克地区的高中毕业生参加了德克萨斯理工大学，CTMS课程和中学教师暑期讲习班对德克萨斯理工大学的数学和科学本科课程和高中数学课程产生了重要影响。＊＊＊

9352676 Gilliam Texax Tech University is creating a computerized classroom- laboratory that will have a major impact on undergraduate science and mathematics education. First, it is providing a classroom environment in which to teach the course "Computa- tional Techniques for Mathematics and Science" (CTMS) for prospective mathematics and science teachers as well as honors calculus using Maple. This allows for both demonstration and guidance while students gain hands-on experience during class. This equipment is also being used as a laboratory in which students can complete assignments and projects utilizing the same computing format they deal with in class.Enrollment in CTMS consists primarily of post-calculus students who are mathematics majors or students seeking secondary mathematics teacher certification. This course includes topics that develop skills in programming, numerical computation, and symbolic manipulation using primarily MATLAB and Maple. It also provides training needed by a growing number of secondary teachers who use computers in their classrooms. In particular, the Lubbock Independent School District has recently implemented the use of computer algebra systems into the secondary curriculum. The Department of Mathematics offers a special summer workshop modeled after the CTMS course for the purpose of introducing secondary teachers to the uses of modern computer systems. Since many high school graduates from the Lubbock area attend Texas Tech, the CTMS course and the Summer Workshop for secondary teachers are having an important influence on the undergraduate program in mathematics and science at Texas Tech and the high school mathematics curricula. ***
