Using Free Mathematical Software in Engineering Classes

There are many computational applications and engines used in mathematics, with some of the best-known arguably being Maple, Mathematica, MATLAB, Mathcad. However, although they very complete powerful, demand use commercial licences, which can be a problem for education institutions or cases where students desire to software on an unlimited number devices access it from several them simultaneously. In this contribution, we show how GeoGebra, WolframAlpha, Python, SageMath applied teaching different mathematical courses engineering studies, as most interesting representatives free (and mostly open source) software. As best way topic mathematics is by providing examples, article explains make calculations main topics associated Calculus, Algebra, Coding theories. addition this, provide results usage Mathematica graded activities. Moreover, comparison between that participate “traditional” course, solving problems attending master classes, shown.
