Computational Skills for Multivariable Thinking in Introductory Statistics

Computational Inquiry in Introductory Statistics

Inquiry based pedagogies have a strong presence in proof-based undergraduate mathematics courses, but can be difficult to implement in courses that are large, procedural, or highly computational. An introductory course in statistics would thus seem an unlikely candidate for an inquiry based approach, as these courses typically steer well clear of proof, have a list of required topics, and depen...

Exploring Core Cognitive Skills of Computational Thinking

Although still innovative and not largely disseminated, Computational Thinking is being considered as a critical skill for students in the 21st century. It involves many skills, but programming abilities seem to be a core aspect since they foster the development of a new way of thinking that is key to the solution of problems that require a combination of human mental power and computing power ...

A Computational Meshless Method for Solving Multivariable Integral Equations

In this paper we use radial basis functions to solve multivariable integral equations. We use collocation method for implementation. Numerical experiments show the accuracy of the method.

Teaching Computational Thinking Skills in C3STEM with Traffic Simulation

Computational thinking (CT) skills applied to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are critical assets for success in the 21st century workplace. Unfortunately, many K-12 students lack advanced training in these areas. C3STEM seeks to provide a framework for teaching these skills using the traffic domain as a familiar example to develop analysis and problem solving skills. C...
