Numerical methods as a tool in the teaching of physics
Keywords:
numerical mathematics; physics; solution of problemsAbstract
Introduction: In the teaching of physics, using both exact and numerical methods, complementing each other as a whole, makes the teaching-learning process more complete.
Objective: to show the main ideas to introduce a numerical method: Bisection, in the resolution of problems in the subject of Physics with the use of Excel, in the agricultural engineering major.
Methods: of the theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical levels were applied; these were selected and developed from the demands of the dialectical-materialist approach.
Result: the students´ performance as to solving problems was evaluated using numerical methods and Excel, demonstrating the validity of the didactic proposal used.
A quantitative advance in the level of learning of the contents of Physics was achieved with the application of numerical methods and Excel, since most of the students manage to solve problems with the use of the aforementioned tools.
