Holistic Numerical Methods: A Prototype

工程-其他(59)这个项目正在开发、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。两个原型模块涉及到非线性方程和插值法。这些模块允许用户根据所使用的工程专业和数学包来定制内容。这一努力为一项全面的发展建议奠定了基础，该计划侧重于在典型的本科生数值分析课程中教授的八个数学程序。该项目包括一项评估研究，以比较使用过和没有使用过这些模块的学生在专门设计的测试中的表现。传播工作包括在课程网页和数学资料包的网站中心张贴材料，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.
