Estimating Pi using series part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Teaching Activities
This lab activity uses MATLAB to approximate pi. Students calculate partial sums of infinite series that sum to a multiple of pi, and then calculate error or error bounds. The goal of this lab is to introduce the ...

Goals for teaching numerical integration in Calculus or Differential Equations Courses part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Essays
This essay page from the 2016 MATLAB Workshop explores pedagogical goals for teaching numerical integration in calculus and differential equations, emphasizing student understanding of algorithms through coding, error analysis, and implementation in non-analytical problems before introducing built-in computational tools.
