Special Purpose Computer Aided Classroom for Ordinary Differential Equations and Linear Algebra

小行星9450953 亚利桑那大学正在创建一个特殊用途的计算机辅助教室专门为学生采取常微分方程和线性代数序列为大学生，大三和大四。现在这些课程的重点不再是方法，而是更多地放在思考、理解和实验上。 这个特殊用途教室包含32台DOS机器，其中8台机器上有IBM个人科学实验室（PSL）。PSL被用来收集和显示实验数据在真实的时间。在课堂上，计算机被用来提高思维，理解和解决问题，并鼓励监督实验。这个教室的设计特别有利于互动课堂，合作学习和小组工作。该项目每年影响约1250名学生。通常，他们是未来的科学家，工程师，高中数学教师和数学家。 一个特别的好处是，未来的教师被教导的方式，希望他们以后会教。

9450953 Lovelock The University of Arizona is creating a Special Purpose Computer Aided Classroom devoted exclusively to students taking Ordinary Differential Equation and Linear Algebra sequences for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The emphasis in these courses is now less on methods and more on thinking, understanding, and experimenting. This Special Purpose Classroom contains 32 DOS machines with the IBM Personal Science Laboratory (PSL) available on 8 machines. The PSL is being used to gather and display experimental data in real time. During class time, the computers is being used to enhance thinking, understanding, and problem solving, and encourage supervised experimentation. The design of this classroom is particularly conducive to interactive classes, cooperative learning, and working in groups. This project impact about 1250 students per year. Typically, they are prospective scientists, engineers, teachers of high school mathematics, and mathematicians. One particular benefit is that future teachers are being taught in ways that it is hoped they will later teach.
