Initial work is being conducted toward the goal of instituting a Mathematics Across the Curriculum program to affect all students at the University of Nevada, Reno by facilitating the use of mathematics in all core curriculum classes. A total of 16 faculty from a variety of disciplines as well as mathematics are engaged in determining specific places where mathematics can be introduced into the curriculum of core courses. After the original development, these approaches are being added to the courses. In addition, student Math Mentors are being trained and employed to assist faculty and students in the effective application of mathematics in non-mathematics courses. Matching support is being provided through a Hughes Foundation grant to support the salary of a director of a Mathematics Center. The long term goal is to translate success with a similarly-focused Writing Center into a Center devoted to promoting Mathematics Across the Curriculum.

最初的工作是为了在整个课程计划中建立数学，以促进在所有核心课程课程中使用数学，以影响内华达大学内华达大学的所有学生。 来自各种学科以及数学总共有16位教师参与确定可以将数学引入核心课程课程的特定位置。在原始开发之后，这些方法将被添加到课程中。此外，正在对学生数学导师进行培训和雇用，以帮助教师和学生在非数学课程中有效地应用数学。 Hughes Foundation Grant提供了匹配支持，以支持数学中心主任的薪水。长期目标是将成功的写作中心转化为一个致力于促进整个课程数学的中心。
