Electrical Engineering Education Using Maple

چکیده
1 Ola Røyrvik, Gjøvik College, Department of Technology, POBox 191, 2801 Gjøvik, Norway [email protected] Abstract Many electrical engineering (EE) students have difficulty in learning technical subjects because they lack sufficient competence in mathematical modeling and in algebra. Maple is a powerful program for doing symbolic algebra, numerical calculation, and plotting of graphs, so using this program allows students to spend more time on modeling and interpreting results. Maple also has a text editor, which makes it feasible to require students to explain their results in writing. The design of Maple documents suitable for EE teaching is discussed; a standard format, including bibliographical information, is recommended for easier use.

متن کاملComputer facilitated generalized coordinate transformations of partial differential equations with engineering applications
Partial differential equations (PDEs) play an important role in describing many physical, industrial, and biological processes. Their solutions could be considerably facilitated by using appropriate coordinate transformations. There are many coordinate systems besides the well-known Cartesian, polar, and spherical coordinates. In this article, we illustrate how to make such transformations usin...
متن کاملCryptography Adapted to the New European Area of Higher Education
A new experience for teaching Cryptography to engineering students is shown. The aim is to give them a better understanding of secure and cryptographic algorithms by using Maple software, in a graduate-level course. In this paper we discuss how to structure, define, and implement a web-based course as a part of the traditional classes, according to the convergence of the European Higher Educati...
