• Sommario/riassunto: A collection of computational classroom projects carefully designed to inspire critical thinking and mathematical inquiry. 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.
