Applications of free computational software in math courses at Zagreb University of Applied Sciences
Sažetak
In this paper, authors describe their own teaching experience using Maxima and GNU Octave software packages as computational tools in math courses at studies for Electrical and Civil Engineering of Zagreb University of Applied Sciences and discuss possibilities of achieving the same learning outcomes using software package Giac/Xcas. Finally, a way of modernizing math courses by introduction and usage of suitable computer software is proposed, emphasizing the importance of using free software in education.
