| Description: | The Holistic Numerical Methods Institute is a web-based resource where we have developed, assessed, refined and disseminated the resources for topics of a typical course in Numerical Methods. We continue to develop new resources including for advanced topics such as Partial Differential Equations, Optimization, and Fast Fourier Transforms. You can access the existing resources by 1) topics such as Introduction to Scientific Computing, differentiation, nonlinear equations, simultaneous linear equations, interpolation, regression, integration, ordinary differential equations. 2) context in a holistic form, that is, primers to review information needed from pre-requisite courses such as Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus and Ordinary Differential Equations, textbooks on Numerical Methods with Applications and Introduction to Matrix Algebra, PowerPoint presentations, worksheets in various computational languages such as MATLAB, Maple, MATHEMATICA, and MathCAD, multiple-choice tests for each topic, anecdotes, descriptions of real world physical problems that require numerical methods, modular digital audiovisual class lectures, experiments that you can conduct to reinforce numerical methods, and blogs. 3) class such as by procedure/mathematical package/engineering major, topic, resource type, computational package, and engineering major. All these resources are available free of charge and without restriction of registration because we believe in 1) “Having open dissemination of educational materials, philosophy, and modes of thought, that will help lead to fundamental changes in the way colleges and universities utilize the Web as a vehicle for education" - MIT Open Course Ware. 2) making a deliberate attempt to provide resources that can be used in a ala carte mode by making them pedagogically neutral so that they can be modified to suit anyone's needs. |
