Abstract

The invention of computational software (CS) over the last two decades is a very significant development in the use of mathematics. We propose to introduce CS into the mathematical life of Ohio University by making a particular software package, MatLab¹, widely available across the University and by introducing MatLab homework into most of the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. With this training and campus-wide availability of the software, MatLab will be a tool that students can use throughout their careers at Ohio. This project is based on book written by Young.
