Title of
presentation:
PROGRAMMING LINE AND MULTIPLE INTEGRALS WITH DERIVE
Abstract:
In this workshop we will use some examples of programming with DERIVE to solve problems of line and multiple integrals. We have developed this kind of workshop with our students of Technical Telecommunication Engineering. After the results obtained we think that programming should be part of the teaching of Mathematics at the undergraduate level. The main innovative aspect of this way of teaching is that students have an active role. Specifically, they have to elaborate by themselves utility files to solve the typical problems for the different subjects. In our case, this fact implies that the students need to deal with programming in DERIVE, understand the subject and know how to solve typical problems. The didactical method we will use in the workshop can be resumed in the following two points: 1.- During the first part of the workshop, the conductor will show the participant how to create different macros to solve typical problems of line and multiple integrals, including some graphical utilities to help in the process of resolution. 2.- The second part will be dedicated to help the participants in building additional macros related with this subject. We will give some theoretical aspects in order to make this second part easier to follow.
