Linear Algebra And Applications: An Inquiry-Based Approach, Feryal Alayont, Steven Schlicker
Linear Algebra And Applications: An Inquiry-Based Approach, Feryal Alayont, Steven Schlicker
Open Textbooks
Linear Algebra and Applications: An Inquiry-Based Approach provides a novel open-source inquiry-based learning approach to linear algebra. The emphasis is on active learning and developing intuition through investigation of examples. The content is introduced through inquiry-based activities, starting with experimentation with hands-on concrete examples and continuing on to developing a deep understanding of the topics through working with conceptual questions. To provide motivation and context for the linear algebra content, the text includes 35 real-life applications projects. While working through all of this material in the text, readers are actively DOING mathematics instead of being passive learners. Although it is …
Active Prelude To Calculus, Matthew Boelkins
Active Prelude To Calculus, Matthew Boelkins
Open Textbooks
Active Prelude to Calculus is designed for college students who aspire to take calculus and who either need to take a course to prepare them for calculus or want to do some additional self-study. Many of the core topics of the course will be familiar to students who have completed high school. At the same time, we take a perspective on every topic that emphasizes how it is important in calculus. This text is written in the spirit of Active Calculus and is especially ideal for students who will eventually study calculus from that text. The reader will find that …
Digital Cs1 Study Pack Based On Moodle And Python, Atanas Radenski
Digital Cs1 Study Pack Based On Moodle And Python, Atanas Radenski
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Books and Book Chapters
We believe that CS1 courses can be made more attractive to students:
- by teaching a highly interactive scripting language – Python
- by using an open source course management system - such as Moodle - to make all course resources available in a comprehensive digital study pack, and
- by offering detailed self-guided online labs
We have used Moodle [1] and Python [2] to develop a "Python First" digital study pack [3] which comprises a wealth of new, original learning modules: extensive e-texts, detailed self-guided labs, numerous sample programs, quizzes, and slides. Our digital study pack pedagogy is described in recent ITiCSE …
