Exploration on the College Mathematics Foundational Curriculum Reform by Using Mathematical Software

As professional basic courses for specialties in fields of science and engineering, the mathematics foundational courses are always unsatisfactory in instruction effect and learning experience. This paper narrates the mode and significance of software-based mathematics foundational courses, and elaborates four essential footholds of measuring students' knowledge acquaintance, integrating disciplinary background, meeting the needs of extracurricular activities and the needs of work and study in future. In the end we put forward four promotion recommendations for the software-based mathematics foundational courses that are strengthening disciplinary support, implementing stratified teaching, updating the credit authentication and reinforcing the resource coordination.
