Teaching Modeling with Partial Differential Equations: Several Successful Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Myers, Joseph; Trubatch, David; Winkel, Brian – PRIMUS, 2008
We discuss the introduction and teaching of partial differential equations (heat and wave equations) via modeling physical phenomena, using a new approach that encompasses constructing difference equations and implementing these in a spreadsheet, numerically solving the partial differential equations using the numerical differential equation…
