Mathematical Activities Using JavaBeans

这个项目正在开发三类教材，全部基于Java编程语言--(1)独立的、多功能的数学活动，可通过互联网供个人或大学或高中数学课堂使用；(2)面向数学的Java编程工具(Java Beans)，以帮助数学教师使用Java创建自己的数学活动；以及(3)通过互联网提供的一系列教程，为数学教师提供充分的Java编程培训，以在可视化编程环境和上述工具的帮助下开发他们自己的数学活动。项目分三个阶段进行。在1999年夏天，开发和改进了Java编程工具以及示例活动和一系列教程。2000年夏天，为20名数学教员举办了一次关于Java编程工具的使用和开发他们自己的数学活动的讲习班。这些讲习班参加者全年继续开展活动，以便在2001年夏季向数学界开放的一次会议上展示，向该区域的数学教师宣传这些活动。专门用于该项目的Web服务器包含活动、Java语言教程和编程工具。

This project is developing three categories of educational materials, all based on the Java Programming Language -- (1) self-contained, versatile, mathematical activities, available over the Internet for use by individual students or by university or high school mathematics classes, (2) mathematically oriented Java programming tools (JavaBeans) to aid mathematics instructors in creating their own mathematics activities using Java, and (3) a series of tutorials, available over the Internet, to give mathematics instructors sufficient training in Java programming to develop their own mathematical activities with the help of a visual programming environment and the tools described above.The project is proceeding in three stages. In the summer of 1999, develop and refine Java programming tools along with sample activities and a series of tutorials. In the summer of 2000, a workshop for twenty mathematics faculty members on the use of the Java Programming tools and development of their own mathematics activities. These workshop participants continue developing activities throughout the year so that they may be displayed at a conference in the summer of 2001 open to the mathematical community to publicize the activities to mathematics faculty in the region. A web server devoted to this project houses the activities, Java language tutorials, and the programming tools.
