Abstract

In recent years, an attempt has been made to integrate the computer into the study of mathematics, particularly in the areas of probability and statistics. At the research level, the computer has proven to be a useful ally in proving new results. Within instructional programs, both undergraduate and graduate, the computers can be employed as an aid to teaching through a research of the case method approach. In dealing with such classical topics as limit theorems and regression and more modern ones such as stochastic control, survey sampling, queuing, and search problems, an attempt was made to engage the student in discovering the underlying problems, formulating a solution, and testing the validity of the solution. During the experimental computation, it was found that the process engaged most students right from the beginning. The possibility of doing their own research was also compelling for the children. The students stated that the computing results reinforced their understanding of the analysis.
