Computational experiment approach to pre-college mathematics: Theory, pedagogy, tools
Last modified: 2014-01-19
Abstract
The talk introduces the computational experiment approach to school mathematics curriculum by investigation a variety of mathematical models that were typically considered advanced in the pre-computer age. This approach makes it possible to connect sophisticated mathematical context and the modern day teaching practice. The talk will demonstrate how mathematical experimentation in the technological paradigm creates conditions for collateral learning to occur including the development of skills important for engineering applications of mathematics.
