Research on the Teaching of Numerical Analysis for Postgraduates

Abstract

Teaching process of numerical analysis for non-mathematics graduate students shows some characteristics and problems. In consequence, authors analyze and study the teaching process from their teaching experience in the past three years. They present some teaching methods and models which are able to improve the quality of teaching effectively. The methods use an online-to-offline hybrid model to solve conflict between less course time and more content, and difference cognitively among students. By applying numerical analysis approaches in mathematical modeling, these teaching methods stress importance of numerical analysis to students. As result, the presented teaching methods achieve the aims of stimulating the initiative of students and enhancing the quality of teaching.
