A Study of Computer-Based Discrete Mathematics Focused on the Leslie Matrix Model
컴퓨터 기반의 이산수학에 관한 연구 -Leslie 행렬 모델을 중심으로-
Abstract
Discrete mathematics allows students to examine and explore unique, special problem situations which were not used to solve problems by paper-and-pencil procedures or applying common formulas. The use and integration of accessible computer-related technologies such as 'Mathematics' or 'Maple' software programs enables students to explore problem situation dramatically. This study shows that it is possible to introduce computer-based discrete mathematics focused on the Leslie matrix model as modeling age-specific population growth to high school students.
