Abstract :
Several experiments have been developed and implemented in an undergraduate course in Numerical Methods. Most mathematical procedures that are taught in the course are covered in the analysis and interpretation of the data collected in these experiments. This paper describes the implementation of these experiments and how they are used in the course. Assessment data from two semesters for this WIP will be available at the time of the presentation.
