| Title: | Teaching dynamical systems with Maxima |
| Issue Date: | 2008 |
| Abstract: | We report on our experience in teaching a dynamical systems course to second-year engineering students. The course has been taught with a hands-on approach, using a Computer Algebra System: Maxima. We have developed some additional programs to help students explore the dynamics of the systems, in a more intuitive way and without loosing too much time with computer programming. The result has been very encouraging; students are better motivated using this approach, as compared to the more traditional methods that we used in the past. |
