Allen 414 Computer Classroom
and Laboratory

 
In 1994, department faculty members Betty Scarborough, Bill England, Michael Neumann, and Michael Pearson wrote the proposal "Student Research Projects in Multivariate Calculus," and submitted it to the Division of Undergraduate Education at the National Science Foundation. The proposal was funded for $50,000 as NSF grant number 9551248. The project received a matching grant from ILI. These funds were used to develop the computer lab in which faculty and students develop high quality multivariate research projects that utilize the computer algebra system Mathematica. The computer lab contains 25 pentium-class workstations, a visual projection system and an Hewlett-Packard laser printer. The facility is a lab open to all students enrolled in mathematics or statistics courses, and is sometimes used for classroom instruction. Graduate teaching assistants who are knowledgeable in the use of several types of software used in the department staff the lab to help students.
