Numerical Approximation Module

We are increasingly integrating the topic of Numerical Integration into all aspects of our undergraduate program, based on VPython. For the main course using this Module, students can be actively afraid of the word Integration, so we call the Module Numerical Approximation.

Topics

• Introduction to the Python programming language and the VPython visual environment .
• Numerical approximation as an alternative to analytic solutions.
