Mathematicians from the Five College Consortium of Amherst, Hampshire,          Mount Holyoke, Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts will          restructure the standard three-semester calculus sequence during the            next five years.                                                                                                                                                They will develop a new curriculum in which the four mathematical               themes of optimization, estimation and approximation, differential              equations, and functions of several variables will be stressed from the         beginning. These major mathematical concepts will grow out of exploring         significant problems from social, life and physical sciences.                   Dynamical systems, discrete time models, Fourier series and partial             differential equations are some of the concepts which will be explored.         The computer will be integrated into the curriculum as a basic                  conceptual device for structuring the way students think about problems         and what it means to solve them.                                                                                                                                A national Advisory Board of mathematicians, a scientist, and an                engineer will contribute ideas, and give overall guidance in the                evaluation. Dissemination will be in the form of team-taught courses,           weekend retreats,  summer workshops for area faculty and high school            teachers and publication of the curriculum.  These instructional                materials will be used at universities, liberal arts colleges, and high         schools.                                                                                                                                                        The Five Colleges is providing significant cost sharing.
