摘要在本文中,我们分享了一项名为“竖琴计划”的本科数学课堂活动,该活动利用了数学和音乐艺术的美学本质。这个项目被认为是一个STEAM/PBL项目,增加了一个功能,它是由整个班级进行的。轶事证据表明,学生对体验的兴趣和参与程度非常高,他们参与的集体感觉可以归因于项目设计的这种集体质量。出于这个原因,我们邀请其他人考虑这个课程经验,因为它似乎是可行的,支持努力培养更广泛的学生群体与数学的亲和力。关键词:数学与艺术数学与音乐数学与创造力数学教育steam - pblharp免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务,我们提供此版本的已接受手稿(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前,将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前,可能会发现可能影响内容的错误,所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。本项目部分由国家科学基金会通过花园州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟计划(GSLSAMP;奖1909824)。LSAMP计划帮助大学和学院努力增加完成科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科高质量学位课程的学生人数。steven Greenstein是一位数学教育家和研究人员,他喜欢思考数学方面的事情。以及人们如何思考数学问题。如果他能在骑自行车的时候做到这一点,那就更好了。通过他的工作,他旨在发现和支持教育工作者能够使真正的数学活动民主化的实践,这种活动尊重学习者数学思维的多样性,并以自我导向和代理探究、数学游戏和追求奇妙想法为指导。Bogdan Nita是一位数学教授和研究人员,他喜欢在科学和艺术的融合领域教授和研究各种研究问题,特别是数学和音乐。最近,他一直在探索流体动力学和潘笛子的数学问题,爵士独奏的随机即兴演奏,以及使用部分分式来发现和分析非标准音阶。

AbstractWe describe the components and implementation of an activity for multivariable calculus featuring applications to the field of chemistry. This activity focuses on the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient found using partial differentiation of the volume of an ideal gas with respect to temperature as pressure is held constant. Broader goals of this activity include enhancing calculus conceptual understanding, encouraging further interdisciplinary study and exploration, and cultivating mathematicians and scientists with broader and deeper backgrounds.Keywords: Multivariable calculusapplicationchemistry activitycoefficient of thermal expansionpartial differentiationideal gasphysical chemistryDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractExercise is essential for mastering mathematics, but it faces two major hurdles. First, students are often not motivated to do their homework. Second, checking traditional homework is a manual and labour intensive process that becomes harder to support as the number of students increases. We argue that computer games could alleviate both problems. In contrast to homework, students are willing to spend many hours playing video games. And because video games keep track of the gamers' performance, they offer a scalable solution to the problem of checking the homework. We describe an experiment to augment traditional homework with a computer game that we have developed for exercising the topics of symmetry groups in an undergraduate college course. We describe the mathematical background of the subject matter, how we have embedded the mathematics into the game, the empirical results of playing the game, and the insights we have gained from this experiment.Keywords: HomeworkVideo gamesSymmetry groupsTilingOrbifoldsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

练习对于掌握数学是必不可少的,但它面临两个主要障碍。首先,学生往往没有动力去做作业。其次,检查传统的家庭作业是一个人工和劳动密集型的过程,随着学生人数的增加,这一过程变得越来越难以支持。我们认为电脑游戏可以缓解这两个问题。与家庭作业相比,学生们愿意花很多时间玩电子游戏。因为电子游戏可以跟踪玩家的表现,所以它们为检查家庭作业的问题提供了一个可扩展的解决方案。我们描述了一个实验,以增加传统的家庭作业与电脑游戏,我们已经开发了练习对称群的主题,在本科大学课程。我们描述了主题的数学背景,我们如何将数学嵌入到游戏中,玩游戏的实证结果,以及我们从这个实验中获得的见解。关键词:家庭作业视频游戏对称组stilingorbifolds免责声明作为对作者和研究人员的服务,我们提供这个版本的接受手稿(AM)。在最终出版版本记录(VoR)之前,将对该手稿进行编辑、排版和审查。在制作和印前,可能会发现可能影响内容的错误,所有适用于期刊的法律免责声明也与这些版本有关。请在这里列出所有致谢。注1该游戏可作为Windows安装包获得[Citation4]。附加信息:投稿人说明FaitelsonDr。David Faitelson于2008年获得英国牛津大学计算机科学博士学位。目前,David是Afeka学术工程学院的高级讲师。他的研究兴趣包括将形式数学应用于正确软件的构建、计算仿生学以及利用计算机改进高等教育。GulDr。Shai Gul于2015年毕业于以色列巴伊兰大学,获得数学、离散几何博士学位。2016年,他在Holon理工学院(以色列)任职,现在是数学高级讲师。Shai的研究方向是离散几何,特别是平面覆盖问题。最近,Shai在H.I.T成立了数学设计实验室,在不同学科的学生的帮助下,他们探索使抽象数学更有形、更容易被非数学家理解的技术。richard Arieli是一名独立插画家和设计师,擅长跨媒体叙事。她于2021年获得以色列Holon理工学院集成设计硕士学位。她目前是以色列主要财经报纸《环球报》的高级编辑。

David's research interests include the application of formal mathematics to the construction of correct software, computational biomimicry, and using computers to improve higher education.S. GulDr. Shai Gul graduated with a Ph.D in Mathematics, Discrete Geometry, in 2015 from the University of Bar-Ilan (Israel). In 2016 he took a position at Holon Institute of Technology (Israel) and is now a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics. Shai's research is in Discrete Geometry especially in plane covering problems. More recently, Shai founded the Lab for Designing Mathematics at H.I.T, where with the help of students from different disciplines they explore techniques for making abstract mathematics more tangible and accessible to non mathematicians.and M. ArieliMichal Arieli is an independent illustrator and designer, specializing in transmedia story-telling. She has earned her M. Des in Integrated Design from Holon Institute of Technology, Israel in 2021. She is currently a senior editor at Globes, a major Israeli financial newspaper.","PeriodicalId":39375,"journal":{"name":"PRIMUS","volume":"32 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135266028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Texas A&M University-Commerce has implemented supplemental instruction (SI) for Calculus since the fall of 2013. A direct display of the ABC rates from fall 2005 to spring 2021 only presents fluctuation from semester to semester, and one can hardly deduce that the ABC rates are increasing. In this paper, the “moving average” technique is used to reveal the effectiveness of SI in improving the percentage of students earning a grade of A, B, or C (ABC rates) in Calculus. Our longitudinal data under the “moving average” also shows that the SI implementation increased the ABC rates of major ethnic groups.
德州农工大学商学院自2013年秋季开始实施微积分补充教学(SI)。直接显示2005年秋季至2021年春季的ABC利率,只显示出学期之间的波动,很难推断ABC利率在上升。在本文中,“移动平均”技术被用来揭示科学探究在提高学生在微积分中获得a、B或C成绩的百分比(ABC率)方面的有效性。我们在“移动平均线”下的纵向数据也显示,SI的实施提高了主要民族的ABC率。
