Computer Laboratory Instruction in Multivariable Calculus

9452422 Cheung正在设计一个多变量微积分实验室教学的国家模式，该模式将计算机的使用-特别是数学软件MAPLE V -融入材料的教学和学习中。在计算机的帮助下，学生们正在提高他们对材料的理解，并更快地将思想应用于解决问题。他们正在开发1）一个公共领域的图书馆，其中包含自定义Maple程序设计的教学和学习的多变量微积分，2）两个版本的实验室手册使用的Maple图书馆和实验室指令。 该项目的第一个版本涵盖了大多数标准微积分教科书中的传统多变量微积分主题。 第二个版本集成Maple与非传统的多变量微积分教学大纲开发的哈佛微积分协会。

9452422 Cheung A national model for multivariable calculus laboratory instruction which integrates the use of computer - in particular, the mathematical software MAPLE V - into the teaching and learning of the material is being designed. With the help of the computer, students are improving their comprehension of the material and moving more quickly into the application of ideas to problem solving. They are developing 1) a public domain library that contains custom Maple programs designed for the teaching and learning of multivariable calculus, 2) two versions of a laboratory manual for use with the Maple library and laboratory instruction. The first version of the project covers the conventional multivariable calculus topics in most standard calculus textbooks. The second version integrates Maple with the non-conventional multivariable calculus syllabus developed by the Harvard Calculus Consortium.
