Abstract

An experimental tutorial mathematics program is nearing completion which is designed to provide interactive workstation based tutorial support in several areas of engineering mathematics. The objectives of the software are to provide review and exploration experiences which are suitable for classroom presentation, but also can be tailored to the needs of individual students. If this tutorial software approach is successful, it will allow upper division courses in engineering and science to progress more efficiently. It will also help eliminate some barriers to student progress into the upper division due to gaps in academic experience. This type of software is complementary to the demonstrations which can be accomplished with batch files and notebooks for widely used mathematics toolkits such as MatLab and Mathematica. However, it is not based on those software products, and no license to use those products is needed to use this tutorial. This approach is also complementary to textbook presentations since it provides the student with the opportunity to experiment with concepts of mathematics, but it does not present the formal theoretical developments in the depth expected in textbooks.

工程数学教程软件

一个实验数学教程程序即将完成，该程序旨在为工程数学的几个领域提供基于交互式工作站的教程支持。该软件的目标是提供适合课堂演示的复习和探索体验，但也可以根据个别学生的需要进行定制。如果这种教学软件的方法是成功的，它将允许高年级的工程和科学课程更有效地进步。这也将有助于消除由于学术经验差距而阻碍学生升入高年级的一些障碍。这种类型的软件是对演示的补充，演示可以通过批处理文件和笔记本来完成，用于广泛使用的数学工具包，如MatLab和Mathematica。但是，它不是基于这些软件产品，并且使用本教程不需要使用这些产品的许可证。这种方法也是对教科书演示的补充，因为它为学生提供了实验数学概念的机会，但它并没有在教科书中所期望的深度上呈现正式的理论发展。
