Taylor Polynomials in Aerospace Engineering
April 17, 2010 by hrm | | No Comments
I used the Taylor Polynomials in recitation for an undergraduate class in computational methods in aerospace engineering (16.90). The instant graphic demonstration of the concept was essential to conveying the utility of Taylor series approximation to the students. The movie-style functionality was particularly fun for the students. -- Chad Lieberman, February 10, 2010.
Stability in Aero-Astro

As part of an effort to increase student comprehension in 16.90, the Aero-Astro Introduction to Computational Mechanics, Kambourides Fellow Chad Lieberman and Professor Karen Willcox collaborated in the design and refinement of a Mathlet illustrating the eigenvalue analysis of stability of difference schemes. This applet formed the basis for a class on February 22, 2010. […]
