Koparan, Timur; Rodríguez-Alveal, Francisco – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2022
Solving real-life problems through mathematical modeling is one of the aims of modern mathematics curricula. For this reason, prospective mathematics teachers need to acquire modeling skills and use these skills in learning environments in terms of creating rich learning environments. With this study, it is aimed to examine the reflections of…

Cruzeiro, Vinícius Wilian D.; Roitberg, Adrian; Polfer, Nicolas C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
In this work we are going to present how an interactive platform can be used as a powerful tool to allow students to better explore a foundational problem in quantum chemistry: the application of the variational method to the dihydrogen molecule using simple Gaussian trial functions. The theoretical approach for the hydrogen atom is quite…

George, Danielle J.; Hammer, Nathan I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
This undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory exercise introduces students to the study of probability distributions both experimentally and using computer simulations. Students perform the classic coin toss experiment individually and then pool all of their data together to study the effect of experimental sample size on the binomial…

Al-Aziz, Jameel; Christou, Nicolas; Dinov, Ivo D. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2010
The amount, complexity and provenance of data have dramatically increased in the past five years. Visualization of observed and simulated data is a critical component of any social, environmental, biomedical or scientific quest. Dynamic, exploratory and interactive visualization of multivariate data, without preprocessing by dimensionality…
