Southwestern area mathematics faculty are attending one of two workshops at the University of New Mexico in the summer of 1991. Thirty faculty members are participating in each one-week workshop. The participants are being provided with a TI-81 graphing calculator and a HP-28S symbolic graphing calculator and are given "hands-on" instruction in their use. The emphasis is on the use of these machines as laboratory instruments to gather data and generate hypotheses. Discovery via visualization is the central theme. A newsletter including descriptions of post- workshop experiences of participants will be distributed two times in the year following the workshops and presentations will be made at regional professional meetings.
