Sci. Dept. Lines: 19 And here is another AMIGA USER: The Mathematics Department at The University at Albany has an Amiga Classroom that it uses for instructional purposes. We have been offering courses in Calculus, Basic Analysis, Classical Algebra, Linear Programming & Game Theory, Numerical Analysis, and Statistics. We are currently beta testing a Calculus Course being developed at Oregon State University that will be published by PWS Kent. The students simultaneously interact with the Amiga, the blackboard, the instructor, and fellow students. It's an exciting venture and appears to be quite successful. We have had many visitors through the classroom (during actual class operation) and they have been quite impressed. This is different from a laboratory experience. We also have a small lab with Amigas for their use and we keep the classroom open 6 days from 4:00 to 11:00 pm for homework, etc. Herb
