Parts of a new e-version of the (old) BodyandSoul mathematics education reform program will be tested at KTH in the course DN1240 Numerical Methods, Basic Course II starting Oct 25.
I hereby open this blog post as a Discussion Forum for the students following the course, and also other interested. An introduction is given in BodyandSoul at KTH.
I hope in particular to get feedback on the new e-version BodyandSoul Mathematical Simulation Technology. I am also more than willing to answer all kinds of questions related to the text. There are many open ends in different directions.
Questions and feedback can be entered as Comments below.
