Computer Enhanced Mathematics Instruction

数学部反映了将计算技术整合到教学中的国家趋势，但到目前为止，这仅限于手持图形计算器。为了实施进一步的课程改革，我们的学生必须能够使用运行数学软件的台式个人计算机。这个项目实施了一个计算机实验室，用于课堂教学和学生使用微分方程式和统计学。通过改编和实施项目中的材料和实践，包括Blanchard，Devaney，Coleman，Borelli和其他人在微分方程方面的工作，以及Rossman，Schaeffer和其他人在统计学方面的工作，这些课程加强了教学，扩大了学生活动，包括计算密集型现实世界问题的工作。虽然最初的重点是两个特定的学科领域，但我们打算将实验室的影响扩展到其他数学领域，如线性代数和运筹学。

The Division of Mathematics has reflected the national trend toward integrating computing technology into its instruction, but to date that has been limited to hand-held graphing calculators. In order to implement further curricular changes our students must have access to desktop personal computers running mathematical software. This project implements a computer laboratory for classroom instruction and student use in differential equations and statistics. By adapting and implementing materials and practices from projects including the work on differential equations by Blanchard, Devaney, Coleman, Borelli and others and the work on statistics by Rossman, Schaeffer and others, these courses enhance instruction and broaden student activities to include work on computationally intensive real world problems. Although the initial focus is on two specific subject areas, we intend to extend the impact of the laboratory to other mathematics areas such as linear algebra and operations research.
