9451171 Johnson A laboratory of microcomputers networked to a file server which is equipped with mathematics and statistics software is used by undergraduate students in both mathematics courses and courses in other undergraduate areas through a comprehensive plan called Mathematics Across the Curriculum. The goal is to make the learning and appreciation of mathematics a shared responsibility on campus by enhancing the mathematics components of a wide range of courses, especially in the core (or general education) curriculum. The computer lab supports this effort as well as undergraduate mathematics courses, including Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. The initial reform of the mathematics curriculum is the use of the Harvard Calculus Consortium materials supported by the use of this computer laboratory. The lab is staffed and managed in a newly created Mathematics Center. The Director builds upon past experience and expertise in the uses of technology in mathematics education. He works with faculty outside the Mathematics Department to enhance the role of mathematics and technology in their courses, assists students in coping with mathematics-related assignments and helps to revise mathematics courses.

9451171 Johnson的一个微型计算机实验室网络与文件服务器网络，该实验室配备了数学和统计软件，并通过在整个课程的数学计划中使用了数学课程的数学课程和其他本科领域的数学课程和其他本科生的课程。 目的是通过增强各种课程的数学组成部分，尤其是在核心（或通识教育）课程中，使对数学的学习和欣赏在校园内成为共同的责任。 计算机实验室支持这项工作以及本科数学课程，包括微积分，线性代数和微分方程。 数学课程的最初改革是使用该计算机实验室支持的哈佛微积分联盟材料。 该实验室由新创建的数学中心配备和管理。 该主任以过去在数学教育中技术使用的经验和专业知识为基础。他与数学系外的教师合作，以增强数学和技术在课程中的作用，协助学生应对与数学相关的任务，并有助于修改数学课程。
