Nebraska Advanced Mathematics Teaching Aid
At the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, instructors used Mathematica to teach advanced mathematics with real-world examples. In the Matehematica Notebook above, students used Newton's law of cooling to solve a murder mystery.
Using Mathematica, instructors could teach advanced concepts with engaging real-world examples rather than trivial exercises. Lecture notes and lessons that combine text, graphics, sounds, animations, and Mathematica code were organized in structured documents called Notebooks.
If you have Mathematica and want to solve a murder mystery, you would first read some notebooks on:
Newton's Cooling Law
Numerical ODE
Orthogonal Trajectories
Series Solutions
Resonance
