9354652 Johnson Funds are requested to create a unique Mathematics Across the Curriculum program that will be disseminated nationally as a paradigm for enhancing mathematics education. It will affect every undergraduate student on campus by integrating the use of mathematics into all core curriculum (general education) classes. Long-term goals of the project are to improve students' proficiency in mathematics by routine use throughout their general education; reduce "math anxiety" and generate more positive attitudes toward mathematics and science, especially among future K-12 teachers; and help break down barriers to technical career choices. A prominent feature of the program is a Mathematics Center with a full time Director which will provide support for the program by serving as a resource for non-mathematics faculty in developing a new mathematics-intensive curriculum; training student "Math Mentors" to assist faculty and students in the application of mathematics in non-mathematics courses; developing methods to assess mathematical skills in all core classes; sponsoring Visiting Distinguished Scholars to promote faculty dialogue across disciplines; providing computers, video players, and tutors to support students; and producing aids for student learning, including video tapes. A very successful Writing Across the Curriculum program served by a Writing Center has been underway for four years at the University of Nevada, Reno, and will serve as a model for Mathematics Across the Curriculum. Dissemination of the entire program nationally is a major goal of this proposal and will be aggressively undertaken. ***y

9354652 Johnson资金被要求在整个课程计划中创建一个独特的数学，该计划将在全国范围内作为增强数学教育的范式传播。它将通过将数学使用纳入所有核心课程（通识教育）课程来影响校园中的每个本科生。 该项目的长期目标是通过常规使用整个通识教育来提高学生的数学水平； 减少“数学焦虑”，并对数学和科学产生更积极的态度，尤其是在未来的K-12教师中；并有助于打破技术职业选择的障碍。 该计划的一个突出特征是一个数学中心，拥有全职主任，该中心将通过作为非数学学院的资源来为该计划提供支持，以开发新的数学密集型课程；培训学生“数学导师”，以帮助教师和学生在非数学课程中应用数学；开发评估所有核心课程数学技能的方法；赞助来访的杰出学者，以促进跨学科的教师对话；提供计算机，视频播放器和导师来支持学生；并生产用于学生学习的辅助工具，包括录像带。 在里诺内华达大学，由写作中心服务的课程课程非常成功，已经进行了四年，并将作为整个课程数学的典范。在全国范围内传播整个计划是该提案的主要目标，并将积极进行。 *** y
