Dynamic Visualization of Optimization and Approximation Processes in Teaching Mathematics

Proceedings of the 16th International Conference "Teaching Mathematics: Retrospective and Perspectives" 2016
Nataļja Budkina, Svetlana Asmuss

The talk is devoted to the authors' experience in using dynamic visualization technique in teaching mathematics. In contrast to static images, dynamic visualizations can directly display changes over time and thus can improve understanding of processes. The topics of mathematics where such technique can be used as an additional effective tool for improving the quality of lectures are considered in the paper. The main attention is paid to animation of optimization and approximation processes. The set of corresponding examples created with GeoGebra are presented.
