Classroom Laboratories in Mathematics and Science

自1988年以来，数学系一直积极参与一项严肃而成功的计划，以提高女性和少数民族学生在微积分课程中的教学，理解和保留。数学专业的学生在协作团队中使用计算机技术来创建具有挑战性的项目组合。 科学课，以及数学课，一直在使用这个微积分实验室创建具有挑战性的项目组合。 该项目提供了40台膝上型计算机（数学系20台，科学系20台）和100台TI-92计算器（数学系40台，科学系40台，数学实验室20台）。 这些实验室的能力将创造一个教育环境，强调科学知识的所有领域的相互联系，以便更有效地为学生准备未来的科学环境。

The Mathematics Department has been actively involved since 1988 in a serious and successful program to improve instruction, understanding, and retention for women and minority students in its calculus courses. Mathematics students use computer technology in collaborative teams to create portfolios of challenging projects. Science classes, as well as mathematics classes, have been using this calculus laboratory to create portfolios of challenging projects. This project provides 40 laptop computers (20 to the Mathematics Department and 20 to the Science Department)and 100 TI-92 calculators (40 to the Mathematics Department, 40 to the Science Department, and 20 to the Mathematics Laboratory). These laboratory capabilities will create an educational environment that emphasizes the interconnection of all fields of scientific knowledge in order to prepare students more effectively for the scientific environment of the future.
