Holistic Numerical Methods: A Prototype

工程-其他（59）该项目正在开发、评估和传播基于网络的模块，用于数值方法课程和使用数值方法的高级工程课程。这两个原型模块涉及非线性方程和插值。这些模块允许用户根据工程专业和使用的数学包定制内容。这项工作提供了一个完整的发展建议的基础上，重点是八个数学程序在典型的本科数值分析课程。该项目包括一项评价研究，以比较在专门设计的测验中使用和未使用这些单元的学生的成绩。传播工作包括在课程网页和数学软件包网站中心张贴材料，并在工程教育会议和工程教育期刊上分享结果。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is developing, evaluating, and disseminating web-based modules for courses on numerical methods and for upper-level engineering courses using numerical methods. The two prototype modules concern nonlinear equations and interpolation. The modules allow user-customization of content based on engineering major and mathematical package used. The effort provides the basis for a full development proposal focusing on eight mathematical procedures taught in typical undergraduate numerical analysis courses. The project includes an evaluation study to compare the performance of students who have and have not used the modules on specially designed tests. Dissemination efforts include posting material on the course web page and on web site hubs for mathematical packages and sharing the results at engineering education conferences and in engineering education journals.
