The Western Piedmont Community College Computer Enhanced Mathematics Instruction Project

西皮埃蒙特社区学院的数学系要求在所有转学数学课程中广泛使用计算器。 大学代数学生和微积分学生需要有图形计算器，而其他学生需要有线性回归能力的科学计算器。 将计算机使用融入数学课程是学院数学课程发展的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤。 为了实现这一目标，西部皮埃蒙特社区学院计算机增强数学教学项目（CEMIP）将使该部门配备一个多用途的教学计算机实验室，提供配套资金购买21台微型计算机，四台打印机，一个VGA液晶显示面板，一个高射投影仪，和三个商业软件包DERIVE，MAPLE和MINITAB的现场许可证。 该实验室将被用作教学教室，指定的计算机使用实验室，并为选定的数学学生开放的有限访问实验室。 最初，该项目将集中于将计算机使用纳入微积分和统计教学，最终目标是将计算机使用融入整个数学课程。

The Mathematics Department at Western Piedmont Community College requires extensive use of calculators in all transfer mathematics courses. College algebra students and calculus students are required to have graphing calculators while other students are required to have scientific calculators with linear regression capability. The integration of computer usage into the mathematics curriculum is the next logical step in the evolution of the College's mathematics program. To achieve this goal, the Western Piedmont Community College Computer Enhanced Mathematics Instruction Project (CEMIP) will enable the department to equip a multipurpose instructional computer laboratory by providing matching funds for the purchase of 21 microcomputers, four printers, a VGA liquid display panel with-an overhead projector, and site licenses for three commercial software packages DERIVE, MAPLE, and MINITAB. The lab will be used as a teaching classroom, an assigned computer usage lab, and limited-access lab open for selected mathematics students. Initially, the project will concentrate on incorporating computer usage into calculus and statistics instruction, with the ultimate goal of having computer usage integrated into the entire mathematics curriculum.
