Study on the Intuitive Introduction in Calculus Teaching

چکیده
In the popularization course of higher education, students entering into the higher colleges are not those excellent students with excellent achievements in the senior school, so the teaching of college mathematics in higher colleges should transform from the learning emphasis to popularization emphasis for traditional excellent higher education. In the transformation process, as a main basic course for the students of the engineering course, the calculus has many problems in the teaching. Based on many years’ teaching practice and theoretic research, in this article, we first analyze the problems and antinomies faced by calculus teaching, demonstrate the feasibility of intuitive introduction method from the mathematical essential and the rule of human thinking, and finally explain the implementation method of the intuitive introduction combining with concrete teaching cases.

Teaching Electromagnetic Field Theory Using Differential Forms - Education, IEEE Transactions on
The calculus of differential forms has significant advantages over traditional methods as a tool for teaching electromagnetic (EM) field theory: First, forms clarify the relationship between field intensity and flux density, by providing distinct mathematical and graphical representations for the two types of fields. Second, Ampere’s and Faraday’s laws obtain graphical representations that are ...
متن کاملAn analytic study on the Euler-Lagrange equation arising in calculus of variations
The Euler-Lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. This paper employs the differential transformation method (DTM) for finding the solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. DTM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. S...
متن کاملTeaching Calculus with Infinitesimals
Synopsis This article argues that first semester calculus courses for non-mathematics majors should be taught using infinitesimals. This applies to both high school and undergraduate calculus courses. The use of infinitesimals in calculus, though more intuitive than the approach developed in the 19 th century, has been controversial for over two millennia. However, in the 20 th century their us...
متن کاملCurvature in the Calculus Curriculum
1. INTRODUCTION. My first duty as a new graduate student at a major research university was the repeated correction of the same problem on 150 calculus exams. The course material was the calculus of curves and surfaces in three-space, and the problem was a routine calculation of curvature, requiring the memorization of a particular formula and the mechanics of differentiation. Being conscientio...
متن کاملELT educational context, teacher intuition and learner hidden agenda (a study of conflicting maxims)
This study, first, attempted to explore the conflict or tension between EFL teacher intuition or concepts and the conception with a composite view assembled from learner's accounts of the distinctive features of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), and second to investigate the latter's "hidden agenda" (Nunan, 1998) of what ELT should be. On the other hand, role of educational context as an i...
