Workshop Statistics: Discovery Through Data is one of the most successful new textbooks in recent years, emphasizing a hands-on, laboratory approach to introductory statistics. For this version author Allan Rossman is joined by Beth Chance, University of the Pacific, and in it they incorporate Minitab commands and worksheets. This new package consists of the Rossman and Chance textbook: Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Minitab, and a complete Student Version of Minitab, release 12. The specially priced package will be of interest to students using Minitab in their statistics courses, and wishing to purchase their own copy of the software. Minitab is the most widely used teaching statistical software in the world.

The text covers standard topics for an introductory differential equations course. The Mathematica software component enhances the students' problem-solving abilities and helps them develop a working understanding of the subject. Difficult concepts are explored on the computer, and the computer eases the burden of complicated computation.

The Workshop approach to introductory statistics is a fully interactive pedagogical approach, eliminating the distinction between lectures and laboratory sessions. Using the computer, students work on activities that allow them to explore and analyze data and at the same time learn basic concepts and statistical methods. The topics covered are those typically found in a one-semester introductory statistics course. An added emphasis in the Workshop approach is on students working together and writing up their observations. Our publication, the student activity guide, is completely stand-alone and can be used in place of a standard text. It may also be used as a supplement to a text. A special feature of the book is its provision for use in courses taught using computers or graphing calculators.

Rossmann, Allan J.

This introductory calculus text was developed by the author through his teaching of an honors calculus course at Notre Dame. The book develops calculus, as well as the necessary trigonometry and analytic geometry, from witin the relevant historical context, and yet it is not a textbook in the history of mathematics as such. The notation is modern, and the material is selected to cover the basics of the subject. Special emphasis is placed on pedagogy throughout. Whhile emphasizing the broad applications of the subject, emphasis is placed on the mathematical content of the subject.

The aim of this textbook is to provide an applied introduction to statistics, and in particular to the design and analysis of experiments for students with no background in the subject. The author sets forth these goals: a strong emphasis on choosing sound design structures prior to a formal discussion of ANOVA; explore real data sets using a variety of graphs and numerical methods; testing the assumptions behind standard ANOVA texts; and so on. The text is quantitatively accessible: more difficult algebraic discussions are contained in optional sections. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the contextual understanding and interpretation of data analysis rather than stressing formal deductive, mathematical reasoning.

Software

Porter and Hill is the first completely interactive linear algebra course. Developed by the authors and class-tested at Penn, Temple and Duke University, Interactive Linear Algebra runs in Mathcad (Windows environment). The subject is taught in a laboratory setting, with or without additional lectures, and students realize that through this technology-centered approach, mathematics becomes an experimental science. Using the interactive approach, students become active participants in the learning process, which leads to a deeper understanding of the concepts, and at the same time the approach develops confidence in their ability to read, use and write about linear algebra. The electronic text guides students through the standard topics in linear algebra, with a carefully planned series of computer-based discussions, examples, questions, and projects. With its graphics, symbolics, numerics and editing capabilities, Mathcad provides the digital tools needed for developing, visualizing, connecting and applying important concepts.

Workshop Calculus: Guided Exploration with Review integrates a review of basic pre-calculus concepts with the study of concepts encountered in a traditional first semester calculus course - functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, and an introduction to integration techniques. This two-course sequence is designed for students who are not prepared to enter Calculus I, but who need to develop mathematical skills for further study in the social sciences, natural sciences, or mathematics. The primary goal of the course is to help students develop firm conceptual understandings of the fundamental ideas in calculus, thereby enabling them to use calculus in other disciplines. Essential elements of Workshop Calculus include the emphasis on applications to enhance student motivation and the use of computers amd graphing calculators to help explore mathematical ideas.

Baxter-Hastings, Nancy

This text represents a new entry level course in mathematics for students in programs such as mathematics, the sciences and engineering, which require additional courses in mathematics. With enough material for a two semester course, the text is written at approximately the level of introductory calculus. Principles and Practice of Mathematics was developed over a four year period, under the direction of COMAP, with NSF support. It is an alternative point of entry into the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, one which presents for students a wide spectrum of the contemporary world of mathematics. By emphasizing the breadth and variety of modern mathematical inquiry and applications, the text provides a view of the subject that is not experienced by students in the traditional calculus course. The author team and advisors were selected for their experience with undergraduate education. Among our authors are several who have written successful textbooks. The entire project has evolved under the editorial supervision of veteran COMAP author, Walter Meyer, Adolph University.

The text is composed of a set of sixteen laboratory investigations which allow the student to explore rich and diverse ideas and concepts in mathematics. The approach is hands-on, experimental, an approach that is very much in the spirit of modern pedagogy. The course is typically offered in one semester, at the sophomore (second year) level of college. It requires completion of one year of calculus. The course provides a transition to the study of higher, abstract mathematics. The text is written independent of any software. Supplements will be available on the projects' web site.
