- The University at Albany created a specially designed Computer Classroom
- for the Mathematics Dept where we offer a full range of courses from our
- undergraduate curriculum as well as some graduate courses. This is the
- third year of its existence and for most of us it has changed the way
- we teach as well as what we teach. Students interact simultaneously with
- their computer, with the instructor's computer, with the instructor at
- the blackboard and with fellow students. The major piece of software is
- Maple, a sophisticated computer algebra system and the platform we decided
- on is the Amiga. It's an exciting atmosphere for learning.
