Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 222. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 222 p. Contains: Illustrations. Classroom Resource Materials. The ILAPs provide supplemental classroom resource materials in the form of eight project handouts that you can use as student homework assignments. They require students to use scientific and quantitative reasoning, mathematical modeling, symbolic manipulation skills, and computational tools to solve and analyze scenarios, issues, and questions involving one or more disciplines. The prerequisite skills for the eight projects presented in the book range from freshmen-level algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus; through calculus, elementary and intermediate differential equations, and discrete mathematics to advanced calculus and partial differential equations.
Interdisciplinary Lively Applications Projects (ILAPs) are small group projects developed through the cooperation of faculty from mathematics & partner disciplines. These projects will provide teachers with material that can help their students understand mathematical concepts, develop strong mathematical skills, & motivate them towards an interest in future subjects accessible through the study of mathematics. The ILAPs provide supplemental classroom resource materials in the form of eight project handouts that you can use as student homework assignments. They require students to use scientific & quantitative reasoning, mathematical modeling, symbolic manipulation skills, & computational tools to solve & analyze scenarios, issues, & questions involving one or more disciplines. Sample solutions to the problems, background material, notes to the instructor & a student writing guide are also included. The prerequisite skills for the eight projects presented in the book range from freshmen-level algebra, trigonometry, & precalculus; through calculus, elementary & intermediate differential equations, & discrete mathematics to advanced calculus & partial differential equations. The partner disciplines included in the projects are: mechanics, physics, chemistry, engineering, geography, topography, & exercise physiology. You can use the projects as a supplement to a textbook in any of the following undergraduate areas: precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete mathematics, mathematical modeling, advanced calculus, partial differential equations, & numerical computing.
