Title: Holistic Numerical Methods Institute
Information: http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu/ This course is a prototype (nonlinear equations and interpolation) that teaches numerical methods to engineering undergraduates. It is dedicated to reaching a large audience of undergraduate students through its holistic but customized approach. Holistically, the resources review background information; present numerical methods through notes, presentations, simulations and assessments; show how what they learned is applied in real life; tell stories to illustrate special topics and pitfalls; and give historical perspectives. From a customized perspective, the user can choose a major of choice - Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, General, Industrial or Mechanical Engineering, and language of choice - Maple, Mathcad, Mathematica, Matlab to illustrate algorithms, convergence and pitfalls of the numerical methods.
