基于Matlab软件改革财经类大学《线性代数》课程

大学线性代数理论抽象、计算繁琐,学生普遍感觉学习困难。文章介绍了基于Matlab软件改革财经类《线性代数》课程的实践情况,将Matlab软件融入教学之中,提高学生的感性认识,加深对理论的理解,并整理若干经济、金融、保险、管理等领域的实例,实现理论与实践的结合。该课程改革推动线性代数手算与机算的结合,注重提高学生科学分析和科学计算的能力。

College students generally feel difficult in learning Linear Algebra because of the abstract theor y andcumbersome calculation process. This paper introduces the practice of curriculum reform of Linear Algebra coursein the university of financial and economics based on Matlab software. Matlab software is been incorporated into theteaching, that can improve the students＇ perceptual knowledge and deepen the understanding of theory. Some teachingcases are built from many fields such as economy, finance, insurance and management, to realize the combination oftheory and practice. This reform promotes the combination of calculation by hand and machine in Linear Algebra,and pays attention to improve students＇ ability of scientif ic analysis and scientif ic computing.
