ATLAST 1995/96

ATLAST 1995/96是美国国家科学基金会资助的ATLAST项目的后续项目，该项目旨在通过使用软件工具来增强线性代数的教学。ATLAST的目的是鼓励和促进在线性代数教学中使用软件。该项目旨在为线性代数的教学方式带来系统性的改变。ATLAST的目标是使软件的使用成为所有线性代数课程的一个组成部分。ATLAST 1995/96在1995年提供了关于在线性代数教学中使用软件的两个基本讲习班，在1996年提供了一个基本讲习班，在1996年提供了一个高级讲习班。研讨会参与者正在学习如何使用现有的线性代数软件包，以及如何将这些软件包整合到他们的课程中。参与者应设计自己的计算练习和项目，其水平适合本科线性代数课程。这些练习将在讲习班结束后的学年进行课堂测试，然后提交ATLAST数据库。美国数学协会正在出版的第二本《ATLAST练习册》中收录了1995/96年ATLAST的最佳习题。选定的ATLAST材料包含在田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的数学档案中。这些材料可以被更大的数学社区通过互联网访问。ATLAST 1995/96还为那些已经是开发线性代数计算机习题专家的人提供了一个高级讲习班。本次工作坊的目的是为ATLAST第二本书开发练习。高级研修班仅限受邀参加。

ATLAST 1995/96 is a follow-up to the NSF sponsored ATLAST Project to Augment the Teaching of Linear Algebra through the use of Software Tools. The purpose of ATLAST is to encourage and facilitate the use of software in the teaching of Linear Algebra. The project seeks to bring about systemic change in the way Linear Algebra is taught. The goal of ATLAST is to make the use of software an integral part of all Linear Algebra courses. ATLAST 1995/96 is offering two basic workshops on the use of software in teaching Linear Algebra in 1995, one basic workshop in 1996, and one advanced workshop in 1996. Workshop participants are learning to use existing Linear Algebra software packages and how to incorporate those packages into their courses. Participants are expected to design their own computing exercises and projects at a level suitable for an undergraduate Linear Algebra class. These exercises are being class tested during the school year following the workshop and then submitted for inclusion in the ATLAST database. The best of the ATLAST 1995/96 exercises are being included in a second ATLAST Exercise Book which is being published by the Mathematical Association of America. Selected ATLAST materials are included in the Mathematics Archives at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. These materials can be accessed by the greater mathematics community through the Internet. ATLAST 1995/96 is also offering one advanced workshop for those who are already experts at developing computer exercises for Linear Algebra. The purpose of this workshop is to develop exercises for the second ATLAST book. Participation in the advanced workshop is by invitation only.
