Mathematics departments in small liberal colleges cannot match the resources offered at large universities. An innovative idea to make their program more attractive is to create a mathematics technology course that focuses on major concepts from key undergraduate mathematics courses such as calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics.
