Improving Methodology To Teaching The Theory Of Random Processes With Wolfram Mathematica
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The paper presents an approach to teaching the mathematical formalism to engineering majors by using interactive computer algebra system. The theory of random processes is a core element of mathematics training in an engineering university. The course is designed for students with a previous background in the probability theory and mathematical statistics, and with basic competence in some computer mathematical package. In our case it was Wolfram Mathematica. We provide examples to explain and illustrate our concept and discuss advantages of the method for students and teacher. These materials can also be used in a lecture course not supported by interactive computer systems or by students with insufficient mathematical programming skills. The examples we give belong to the basic concepts of the theory of random processes. We compare two groups of students to assess the results: Group I was taught in a “traditional” format without using interactive computer technologies, Group II had additional lessons in computer class and was involved in the modelling process. Statistically significant differences between groups were established (at 10% significance value). Another outcome was a positive attitude of students towards the proposed method. The presented samples are small, which makes further investigation desirable.
