Web publication of visual teaching materials for business mathematics

Abstract

The paper describes our web publication of visual teaching materials for business mathematics. The objective of the web site is to familiarize students with our visual approach for business mathematics at early stage. The significant advantage of visualization is that seeing the materials leads to better understanding of the mathematical process. Even if the students cannot understand the algebraic calculation process, they can intuitively understand the essence, only seeing the visual materials. The feature of our developed teaching materials is utilization of three-dimensional graphics and its animations. Just watching the animation, students can see the points, even if they have no idea about operations on the web. In the paper, we will illustrate the typical economics problem named the Marshallian demand function.
