GPS-GAP


Program - Mathcad

To enhance understanding of mathematics we make ample use of Mathcad. Essentially, every lecture is revisited with Mathcad examples multiple times and almost every equation in the textbook is brought "alive" by taking advantage of Mathcad's intuitive graphical programming style. Using Mathcad avoids the need for common programming skills among students such as legacy C or Fortran.

While the programs feature audio and display the source code, the input data sources are "hardwired" to assure that the audio interpretation and the visuals remain in sync. The Mathcad source files are available to the students upon request.

Although students are not required to have Mathcad installed on their computer it is, however, strongly recommended that students obtain a single-user copy. For details please contact www.mathsoft.com, www.academicsuperstore.com or www.journeyed.com
