Opis

The reader is introduced to higher mathematics in an experimental way. He works with numerous interactive Java- simulations treating mathematical topics from number theory to infinitesimal calculus and partial differential equations. On the way he playfully learns the EJS simulation technique. Beyond the mathematics simulations the data pool contains a structured collection of over 2,000 physics simulations. The unique, extensive and well documented data pool can be operated comfortably online or with files stored at the hard disk. (For download of the digital package or questions concerning the online operation contact service@degruyter.com.) This is an ideal, modern approach to visualize mathematics and physics and to teach and learn their basic concepts by doing.

This is aunique, comprehensive and documented collection of simulations in mathematics and physics: More than 2000 simulations, offered on our webpage for comfortable use online. The book, written by an experienced teacher and practitioner, contains a complete introduction to mathematics and the documentation to the simulations. This is a great way to learn mathematics and physics. Suitable for courses in Mathetmatics for Engineering and Sciences.
