τέχνη: A First Step

چکیده
A new approach to the design of the computing curriculum for a Bachelor of Arts degree is described. The approach relies extensively on problem-based instruction and computer graphics. The novelty arises from the magnitude and origin of the problems to be integrated into the curriculum and the breadth of the impact across the curriculum. Results from a trial course, the first experiment with the new approach, are described. The course, Tools and Techniques for Software Development, is a sophomore-level course in programming methodology. Construction of a ray-tracing system (for generating synthetic images) was the vehicle chosen for the instruction.

τέχνη Trees: A New Course in Data Structures
The τέχνη method is an approach to undergraduate computer science education that is based on cognitive constructivisim, in the sense of Piaget, and which invokes several course design directives that include re-combining art and science, problem-based learning, problem selection from the visual problem domain, and cognitive apprenticeship. The paper describes a new τέχνη course in data structur...
متن کاملNumerical solution of two-dimensional integral equations of the first kind by multi-step methods
In this paper, we develop multi-step methods to solve a class of two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equations (2D-NVIEs) of the first kind. Here, we convert a 2D-NVIE of the first kind to a one-dimensional linear VIE of the first kind and then we solve the resulted equation numerically by multi-step methods. We also verify convergence and error analysis of the method. At t...
متن کاملMulti-Area State Estimation Based on PMU Measurements in Distribution Networks
State estimation in the energy management center of active distribution networks has attracted many attentions. Considering an increase in complexity and real-time management of active distribution networks and knowing the network information at each time instant are necessary. This article presents a two-step multi-area state estimation method in balanced active distribution networks. The prop...
متن کاملImplicit One-step L-stable Generalized Hybrid Methods for the Numerical Solution of First Order Initial Value problems
In this paper, we introduce the new class of implicit L-stable generalized hybrid methods for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. We generalize the hybrid methods with utilize ynv directly in the right hand side of classical hybrid methods. The numerical experimentation showed that our method is considerably more efficient compared to well known methods used for the n...
متن کاملSimulation of a Variable Reluctance Steping Motor for Sinusoidal and Step Exitations
Steady-state dynamic simulation of a variable reluctance stepping motor is carried out by applying two different excitation voltages. First a single-step voltage is applied to the motor, and a sinusoidal voltage, as the first term of Fourier series of the single-step voltage, is then used as the input voltage of the motor. In both cases plots of machine torque, current and speed are presented. ...
