Visualization and Efficiency in Teaching Mathematics

  • Conference paper
International Joint Conference SOCO’14-CISIS’14-ICEUTE’14

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 299))

Abstract

In this paper we present the evaluation of a web based lecture on mathematical logic in a course for education of students in Mathematics in the University of Debrecen, Hungary. We present a pilot study about our experience: the traditional teaching practice is extended with a new visual web-based technology in the last semester. By the results of the final test we believe that the visual tool has a positive effect to the students’ success.
