to make inquiry into subjects of "linear algebra" in the upper school mathematics
to make teaching/learning objects used in real classes
to perform instruction (to simulate teacher performance)
"Mathematica" is used as a tool for making precise visual expressions.
Students must master the basics of Mathematica during the first one month. In order that their learning is efficient and completed in the period, students are recommended to have a book where "application of Mathematica to the study in linear algebra and calculus" is the theme.
After mastering the basics of Matehmatica, students enter the stage of :
making inquiry into basics of linear algebra and calculus,
making teaching/learning objects used in real class of linear algebra and calculus.
This course, however, is of high hurdles for students. Indeed, in the case of traditional teacher training college, it is difficult to make students reach a mathematical specialty sufficient for teaching mathematics in the upper secondary schools. There is also a social problem of "decline of students' ability in mathematics".
