MS Excel as Tool for Modeling, Dynamic Simulation and Visualization of Mathematical Functions

One of the most important tasks in teaching of mathematics is to use a suitable method for developing of theoretically acquired knowledge. Drawing on his own experience, the authors have found that the best method to be used is the system approach. System approach is closely connected to the modeling and simulation. Theory of the systems, modeling and simulation are disciplines with its own theory and research methodology. Modeling and computer simulation can be understand as one of the most important method in teaching of mathematics and simultaneously can be use as suitable method for practical developing of theoretically acquired knowledge. Case study, described in the paper, presents possibility of dynamic visualization of mathematical function. The solution is demonstrated in MS Excel worksheet and chart. Key-Words: Animation, computer simulation, mathematical modeling, system approach, visualization.
