Hello All- Does anyone out there in net land have a list of universities and/or colleges which sponsor or use the Amiga extensively? I'm planning on grad school, and I would like to learn much more about the Amiga's capabilities. I've heard good things about VPI, but not much else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Nick -- +----------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------+ . // Amiga. Simply . Nick Fitanides .

CS dude . BITNET: N_FITANIDES@UNHH | We use the Amiga extensively in the Mathematics Dept (at The University at Albany, Albany, NY). We developed a unique Amiga Classroom where we offer several levels of Mathematics courses. This is a CLASSROOM, not a lab, so the students interact simultaneously with their Amiga (each student has his/her own Amiga), the instuctor's machine, the blackboard, and their fellow students. No machine is between the student and the instructor, so "normal" instruction may be done simultaneously with computer work. This semester we offered three sections of Calculs, a section of Basic Analysis, one in Classical Algebra, one in a terminal Calculus course, one in Linear Programming & Game Theory, and one in Numerical Analysis. Our experience so far has been excellent. The students and instructors are delighted with the outcome and we are planning to expand our offerings this spring and next year.
