Description
We are used to the traditional methods of teaching mathematics. The textbook, the blackboard and a chalk have been for centuries a wonderful part of teaching. And, they always will be. Traditional teaching methods of mathematics are a wonderful legacy of our educational system that have educated generations of teachers, engineers, administrators, managers, leaders, and economists. American universities websites, the video- lectures of the best professors of well-known disciplines such as statistics, operational research, number theory, algebra, game theory, show impressing large blackboards, all over the auditor's walls. We always will need and admire traditional mathematics. But, beyond the lessons, especially in applied disciplines, students need to learn the software created for discipline applications. Making IT students to learn and, more important, to create applications and programs following the theoretical lessons is a useful way to help them understand better the theoretical knowledge. Similarly, other “theoretical” math disciplines such as number theory, game theory, geometry can be used to. The idea of making a group of IT students and the professor to create a package of applications for the math courses is a very useful process to a more advanced stage of teaching.

We are used to the traditional methods of teaching mathematics. The textbook, the blackboard and a chalk have been for centuries a wonderful part of teaching. And, they always will be. Traditional teaching methods of mathematics are a wonderful legacy of our educational system that have educated generations of teachers, engineers, administrators, managers, leaders, and economists. American universities websites, the video- lectures of the best professors of well-known disciplines such as statistics, operational research, number theory, algebra, game theory, show impressing large blackboards, all over the auditor's walls. We always will need and admire traditional mathematics. But, beyond the lessons, especially in applied disciplines, students need to learn the software created for discipline applications. Making IT students to learn and, more important, to create applications and programs following the theoretical lessons is a useful way to help them understand better the theoretical knowledge. Similarly, other “theoretical” math disciplines such as number theory, game theory, geometry can be used to. The idea of making a group of IT students and the professor to create a package of applications for the math courses is a very useful process to a more advanced stage of teaching.
