ABSTRACT
The development of computer technology has made it possible to teach applied mathematics by developing interactive mathematics laboratory. The main features of our Applied Mathematics Laboratories are introduced in this paper. We will also have a brief tour of our interactive laboratories. Finally, the impact of mathematics laboratories on students learning will also be discussed.Keyword(s): Maple, differential equations, calculus
