文科类院校“数值计算”课程开展实践

Practice of "Numerical computation" Course in Liberal Arts Colleges

"数值计算"是一门研究用计算机程序解决数学物理问题的方法及其理论的课程,是计算数学方向重要的基础入门课。本文针对文科类院校专业课程的设置特点,从教材教学内容的选择出发,融入课程相关研究领域的介绍、并找到合适的思政教育结合点,使学生更好地掌握相关算法的基本原理的同时,了解该课程在国内业界的应用前景。此外通过与数学建模知识相结合,合理设置上机实验,使学生具备一定的算法验证及设计能力,以此切实提高学生运用数学方法解决实际问题的能力。

"Numerical computation" is a course that studies the methods and theories of solving mathematical and physics problems with computer programs.It is an important and basic introductory course in computational mathematics.According to the characteristics of major courses in liberal arts colleges,this course starts from appropriate selection of teaching materials and contents,then integrates introduction of relevant research fields,and finds some combination points of Ideological and Political Education,so that the students can better master the basic principles of relevant algorithms and understand the application prospect of the course in the domestic industry.In addition,by combining the knowledge of mathematical modeling and reasonably setting up computing experiments,students can obtain some algorithm verification and design ability and thus it can effectively improve their ability to solve practical problems by using mathematical methods.
