However, university curricula and teaching methods have responded somewhat cautiously, having only recently come to terms with the now omnipresent calcula tor. While many instructors at first feared that the widespread use of pocket calculators would lead to generations of students who could not multiply or perhaps even add, few now seriously lament the disappear ance of slide rules, logarithm tables, and the often error-bound tedium that such tools of the trade demand. Time that used to be spent on the use of logarithm tables and manual square-root extraction can be prof itably turned to earlier studies of calculus or computer programming. Now that the calculator has been accepted into the classroom, we face a computer-software revolution which promises to be considerably more profound. Modern textbooks in the physical sciences routinely assume their readers have access not only to calculators, but often to home or even mainframe computers as well, and the problems teachers discuss and assign | 出版日期 | Textbook 1994 | 关键词 | Approximation; Maple; Problem-solving; algebra; calculus; differential equation; function; linear optimizat | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-0275-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-8176-3715-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-0275-2 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1994 |
