We firmly share the following two philosophies:

  • First we believe in “Having open dissemination of educational materials, philosophy, and modes of thought, that will help lead to fundamental changes in the way colleges and universities utilize the Web as a vehicle for education" - MIT Open Course Ware. 

  • Second, we provide the numerical methods resources that are pedagogically neutral that can be modified to suit anyone's needs.

Purpose: With major funding from NSF, and co-developing with Florida A&M, Old Dominion University, Arizona State University, Mississippi Valley State University, and Milwaukee School of Engineering, we continue developing (timeline) web-based resources for an undergraduate engineering/physical science course in Numerical Methods.  The unique approach is the holistic and customized nature of the website (Read more). 

Provided free of charge, we believe in the philosophy of

  • having open dissemination of educational materials, philosophy, and modes of thought, that will help lead to fundamental changes in the way colleges and universities utilize the Web as a vehicle for education" - MIT OCW;

  • providing resources that are pedagogically neutral but can be modified to suit an instructor's needs. 

Recent News:  We are bringing resources to our users as soon as they are available.  We have uploaded 200 lectures videos, and written textbooks on Numerical Methods and Introduction to Matrix Algebra.

Audience:  We are trying to reach an audience of engineering and physical science undergraduates (more…)

Awards: The resources brought in this website have been made possible by several agencies and sponsors.  These include National Science Foundation, Colleges of Engineering at University of South Florida, Florida A&M University and Milwaukee School of Engineering, Maple, MathCAD and MATHEMATICA. (more…)

Mission:  Our mission is to reach undergraduates who learn Numerical Methods as a course or use numerical methods in other courses (more…)

People:  The way a number of people have worked synergistically on this project is the reason for its success (more…)

Tracks:  We believe in having open resources where one can customize their online experience (more...)

Dissemination: Dissemination comes in all forms, YouTube, national digital libraries, books, course websites, journal publications, conference presentations, etc. (more...)

Publications: Read the abstracts and/or full papers that have been published (more...)

Contact: Need to get more info or talk one-on-one with the principal investigator.
