The MATH--Open Source Application for Easier Learning of Numerical Mathematics
Glaser-Opitz, Henrich; Budajová, Kristina
Acta Didactica Napocensia, v9 n1 p45-50 2016
The article introduces a software application (MATH) supporting an education of Applied Mathematics, with focus on Numerical Mathematics. The MATH is an easy to use tool supporting various numerical methods calculations with graphical user interface and integrated plotting tool for graphical representation written in Qt with extensive use of Qwt library and other 3rd party libraries. The MATH is a convenient tool for use in education process, thanks to its capability of showing step-by-step solutions for better understanding of the whole process for both undergraduate and graduate students. It enables also speed and precision comparison for various similar methods. The main goal of this application was to support student learning process and after all, speed up the learning curve.
