ABSTRACT
We describe the features of a Mathematics Learning Center, equipped under a grant from NSF.This technology-based facility has the primary goal of improving access for students, especially transfer students and nonmathematics majors, to mathematics courses at three possible levels:
- remedial,
- mid-calculus sequence, and
- as a bridge to upper-level courses.
Keyword(s): calculus, computer labs
