This project will support the establishment of a                           microcomputer laboratory which will be an integral part of a                    program to improve the beginning mathematics education of                       undergraduates in science, engineering, and secondary education                 at Purdue University.  It is being funded under the                             Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement (ILI) Program, which                 has the stated goal of improving "the quality of the                            undergraduate curriculum by supporting projects to develop new or               improved instrument-based undergraduate laboratory and/or field                 courses in science, mathematics, or engineering."  In particular,               this laboratory will be a key element in the development of a                   computer-based discrete mathematics course for pre-service high                 school teachers and in the design of a calculus sequence                        appropriate for large classes.  Types of computer activities                    and approaches will include the use of symbolic manipulation and                graphics and the performance of tasks designed to encourage                     cognitive development.
