Teaching Computational Abstract Algebra
In the Spring semester of 1990 we undertook the educational experiment of teaching undergraduate mathematics and computer science students some fundamental notions of algebra by using computers. The course was entitled Computational Abstract Algebra and offered at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a cross-listed mathematics and computer science course. Twelve students enrolled in it, five of ...
متن کاملTeaching Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry using Computer Algebra Systems
In teaching a mathematics course in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, we would like to equip students with a computer algebra system so they can solve problems that they might encounter in their own research or in industry. The purpose of this paper is to firstly describe how we use computer algebra in the course that we teach and secondly, to share with the reader a list of applicati...
متن کاملThe Use of Computer Algebra Systems in Computer Science Education*
Every student of Computer Science will encounter certain very important and fundamental data structures and algorithms. Many of those structures are relatively simple to understand conceptually, but exceedingly difficult to analyze, especially when average behavior is taken into account. Therefore, if students are to choose the best algorithm for a problem or optimize the parameters of an algor...
متن کاملTeaching Computational Thinking to Science Majors
This paper describes the development and initial evaluation of a new course ”Introduction to Computational Thinking” taken by science majors to fulfill a college computing requirement. The course was developed by computer science faculty in collaboration with science faculty and it focuses on the role of computing and computational principles in scientific inquiry. It uses Python and Python lib...
متن کاملUsing Old Computers for Teaching Computer Science
The research on the history of computing often needs to adopt experimental archaeology methods: the rebuilding of old hardware and software requires to proceed by hypothesis and experimentation. This is one of the key assets of the HMR project, whose main goal is the study of Italian computers from the Fifties and Sixties. The results obtained by the HMR research are made accessible to the publ...
