This
project was funded to create a library collection of 36 "interactive
mathematical explorations" to support a suite of undergraduate courses
in mathematics. Each exploration consists of organized
sequences of simulations, "quantitative/qualitative laboratory"
experiments, lessons, and/or open-ended exercises
tied to the conceptual themes of the targeted course.
The
WELCOME Library is an experiment in computer-based pedagogy. Its aim is to
invite students to come into the world of mathematics and science through
structured Microworlds (either online or offline) that will allow them to
ask their own questions, to read at their own pace, and to experiment and
to play with those topics that interest them.
