Demonstration Apparatus in the Teaching of Applied Mathematics

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

Several authors have recently discussed in the Gazette the place of experimentin the teaching of mathematics. Although it is true that most students can visualise the behaviour of a mechanical system quite well from a proper description or a good drawing, I find that all students, and particularly engineers, seem to be greatly stimulated by an occasional demonstration related to their work.
