This book also contains background subject information for each project, grading rubrics, and directions for further research. Instructors can use these materials inside or outside the classroom to inspire creativity and encourage undergraduate research. R.E.A.L. projects are suitable for a wide-range of college students, from those with minimal computational exposure and precalculus background to upper-level students in a numerical analysis course. Each project is class tested, and most were presented as posters at regional conferences.--Page [4] of cover. 410 0$aClassroom resource materials (Unnumbered) 517 3 $aKeeping it REAL 517 3 $aResearch experiences for all learners 606 $aCritical thinking$vProblems, exercises, etc 606 $aMathematics$xResearch 606 $aMathematics$vProblems, exercises, etc 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aComputation laboratories 606 $aProject method in teaching 615 0$aCritical thinking 615 0$aMathematics$xResearch. 615 0$aMathematics 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aComputation laboratories. 615 0$aProject method in teaching. 676 $a510.71 700 $aMartin$b Carla D$01494543 701 $aTongen$b Anthony$01494544 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785930703321 996 $aKeeping it R.E.A.L$93718112 997 $aUNINA
