Tóm tắt

The demand by business and industry for college graduates with applied mathematics skills has recently encouraged mathematics departments to develop applied mathematics courses instructing students to solve realistic problems. The Mathematics Clinic, a course at the Claremont Colleges, has served as a model in this respect. The Applied Mathematics Laboratory, offered by the Mathematics Department at Towson State University, represents a similar endeavour to incorporate applied problem solving skills into the undergraduate curriculum, but at a liberal arts school which has no engineering college and no graduate mathematics programme. The special benefits of this course to the students and some of the projects that have been worked on are described, as well as particular difficulties encountered by an entirely undergraduate student team. Suggestions are made for other undergraduate schools which may be considering the addition of such a course to their mathematics curriculum. © 1990 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
