Computer Laboratory Instruction in Multivariable Calculus (Phase II)

本项目的目的是设计一个全国性的多元微积分实验教学模式，将计算机的使用和数学程序Maple V和数学a整合到微积分的教与学中。在这项技术的帮助下，学生可以更快地将想法应用于解决问题。以下是在项目第一阶段完成的，由国家科学基金会奖#9452422支持：1)创建一个公共领域枫树库，其中包含用于学习和教授多变量微积分的各种定制程序。这将是一个电子市场，有经验和没有经验的教师可以在这里交流想法和经验。2)编写实验手册，演示如何在建议的库中使用定制的Maple程序，并帮助缺乏经验的教师开发计算机教学实验室。“项目第二阶段”的重点是：1)开发该项目的数学版；2)传播课堂测试中发现的材料和结果。

The purpose of the project is to design a national model for multivariable calculus lab instruction which integrates the use of computers and the mathematical programs MAPLE V and MATHEMATICA into the teaching and learning of calculus. With the aid of this technology, students can move more quickly towards the application of ideas to problem solving. The following was completed in Phase I of the project, supported by NSF award # 9452422: 1) creation of a public domain MAPLE library that contains various custom programs for the learning and teaching of multivariable calculus. This will be an electronic marketplace where experienced and inexperienced instructors can exchange ideas and experience. 2) developmelt of Lab Manuals which will demonstrate how to use the customized MAPLE programs in the proposed library and help the inexperienced instructor to develop a computer instruction lab. The focus of "Phase II of the project" will be: 1) development of the MATHEMATICA version of the project, and 2) dissemination of materials and results found in class-testing.
