Using GeoGebra and SageMath to Assist Engineering Students in Tracing Different Curves and Solving Numerical Methods

Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of technology and software in the educational process. The purpose of this article is to show readers how to use the software Geogebra and SageMath to trace the different curve and solving numerical methods. This application serves as a helpful tool for instructors and students for projects, training, lectures, and other purposes in addition to being a computer environment. The author discusses numerical techniques, how to make certain graphical representations in this application, and how to trace any curve (Parametric, Polar, and Cartesian) using Geogebra and SageMath.

Traditional techniques of tracing the curve and solving numerical procedures, such as the Gauss-Seidal and Gauss-Jordan methods, might be time-consuming. For this reason, tools like Geogebra and SageMath can make calculations for students, teachers, engineers, and other professionals go more quickly.

In an effort to add to the specialized literature, the author developed fresh examples of abstract usage of GeoGebra and SageMath. The article notes the need for the education system to integrate blended learning and teaching methods, which combine computer programs with traditional teaching methods to improve the teaching of mathematics. It recommends using GeoGebra, SageMath programs for assisted instruction in the teaching and learning of mathematics, specifically for cases of numerical methods and Tracing the curve, respectively.
