Calculus For Comprehensive Universities and Two-Year Colleges

这个为期15个月的项目的目标是为综合性大学和两年制学院微积分关键的第一年设计和实施一门课程。该计划适应和综合了成功的微积分改革努力的方法，并为满足当地需求而精心制作。该课程强调并促进合作学习，借助互动绘图技术发展视觉思维，并利用写作帮助学生学习和交流数学。这些方法被整合在一个专注于微积分核心思想的环境中，并提供一系列问题和项目，以挑战学生，同时提高他们的信心和学习技能。该项目在萨姆·休斯顿州立大学、北哈里斯学院、圣哈辛托中央学院和汤姆博尔学院之间建立了合作伙伴关系。这四所院校将各有两名教职员工担任现场负责人。所有八位现场负责人将定期会面，分享想法、经验和材料。将汇编一卷学生作业，作为全国大学教职员工的资源。

The goals of this fifteen-month project are to design and implement a curriculum for the critical first year of calculus at comprehensive universities and two-year colleges. The program adapts and synthesizes methods from successful calculus reform efforts and is crafted to meet local needs. The curriculum stresses and facilitates cooperative learning, develops visual thinking with the aid of interactive graphing technology, and uses writing to help students learn and communicate mathematics. These methods are integrated in an environment that focuses on the central ideas of calculus and provides a progression of problems and projects to challenge students while improving their confidence and study skills. The project establishes a collaborative partnership among Sam Houston State University, North Harris College, San Jacinto College Central, and Tomball College. Two faculty members from each of these four institutions will serve as site leaders. All eight site leaders will meet regularly to share ideas, experiences, and materials. A volume of student assignments will be compiled to serve as a resource for college faculty across the nation.
