<p>This updated introduction to modern numerical analysis is a complete revision of a classic text originally written in Fortran but now featuring the programming language C++. It considers a relatively small number of basic concepts and techniques, focusing on how and why each method works. The authors offer careful consideration of error-analysis aspects related to the problems and algorithms. <br>The treatment also reviews and solidifies basic concepts from elementary calculus, emphasizing theory and proofs. It makes repeated use of the mean-value theorem, intermediate-value theorem, and Taylor's series. Many exercises appear throughout the text, most with solutions, and an extensive tutorial explains how to solve problems with C++. </p>

First published in 1999, Project-Based Learning Using Information Technology has become a classic in the field-and for good reason. David Moursund offers educators an inspiring vision of the possibilities of project-based learning and then shows them how to realize it in their classroom. Moursund deftly summarizes both the principles and supporting research on project-based learning, and walks teachers through the process of creating their own learner centered, technology-enhanced projects. This edition offers many new teacher training activities and ideas for projects that will activate students higher-order thinking skills and instill in them a thirst for life-long learning. Motivate your students to plan and carry out projects with real-world purpose and meaning with this terrific resource for teachers!FEATURESInsights from a widely known author, teacher educator, and educational technology pioneerActivities for teacher training as well as materials and ideas for assessmentCompanion Web site with regularly updated bibliography and detailed syllabi for workshops on project-based learningTopics include:-situated learning theory-higher-order thinking-teacher training-teacher education Also available: Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age - ISBN 156484238X Spreadsheet Magic: Second Edition - ISBN 156484224XThe International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the trusted source for professional development, knowledge generation, advocacy and leadership for innovation.
