Visually assisted learning in multivariable calculus: the cases of continuity and differentiability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this article is to investigate the effects in learning advanced mathematics concepts by means of visual representation. Continuity and differentiability are the subject matters. Two Java modules are developed to yield the learning environment that provides opportunities for students to manipulate the mathematics materials represented in visual fashion. The teaching experiment methodology is employed and problem-based worksheets are used to gather students’ understanding on the concepts. The finding shows that students can learn these advanced concepts meaningfully and confidently as they reasoned in visual way and built the connection between the graphic representation and their algebraic expressions of concepts. Also some students could aware and clarify their misconceptions through this learning environment.

One-Variable and Multi-Mariable Calculus on a Non-Archimedean Field Extension of the Real Numbers∗
New elements of calculus on a complete real closed non-Archimedean field extension F of the real numbers R will be presented. It is known that the total disconnectedness of F in the topology induced by the order makes the usual (topological) notions of continuity and differentiability too weak to extend real calculus results to F . In this paper, we introduce new stronger concepts of continuity...
متن کاملProperties of eigenvalue function
For the eigenvalue function on symmetric matrices, we have gathered a number of it’s properties.We show that this map has the properties of continuity, strict continuity, directional differentiability, Frechet differentiability, continuous differentiability. Eigenvalue function will be extended to a larger set of matrices and then the listed properties will prove again.
متن کاملTeaching and learning of Discrete Mathematics - Indian scenario
Let us, first, very briefly look into the interaction between mathematics and other fields of knowledge. In most of the cases, this interaction has been two way. The obvious one is the application of mathematics to other areas and the less obvious one is that these domains stimulate the development of new mathematics. The traditional example of this two way interaction is between mathematics an...
متن کاملPower Allocation Strategies in Block-Fading Two-Way Relay Networks
This paper aims at investigating the superiority of power allocation strategies, based on calculus of variations in a point-to-point two-way relay-assisted channel incorporating the amplify and forward strategy. Single and multilayer coding strategies for two cases of having and not having the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters are studied, respectively. Using the notion of cal...
متن کاملA Simple Theory of Differential Calculus in Locally
A theory of differential calculus for nonlinear maps between general locally convex spaces is developed. All convergence notions are topological, and only familiarity with basic results from point set topology, differential calculus in Banach spaces, and locally convex space theory is assumed. The chain rule for continuous kth order differentiability, smoothness of inverse functions, and functi...
