| Abstract | This paper aims to explore how technology-based teaching (with Matlab and Mathematica) helps students in understanding optimization methods. Students solve linear programming problems using Matlab and Mathematica. Some examples and case study are used to discuss and explain issues that have been observed while using technology in completing this course. Results show that Mathematica linear programming algorithm is better than the algorithm for the same command in Matlab. Students also learn to counter check important results of optimization problems at hand. This sort of experimental mathematics helped students in improving their confidence levels in attacking optimization problems. |
