H01 - (Year 7 to Year 12) Embed CAS techniques including Python for Pseudocode and Computational Mathematics
(Year 7 To Year 12)
Session Description
The CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) techniques for pseudocode and computational mathematics session is tailored for teachers and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding, capabilities and proficiency in utilising computational tools for mathematical problem-solving. These skills will help them impart these learning skills to the students. Led by an expert in both mathematics and computer science, the session delves into the integration of CAS into pseudocode algorithms and computational
mathematics as prescribed in V2.0 of Victorian / V9 of Australian curriculum and VCE Mathematics study design. Opportunities for hands-on exercises and coding to reinforce better understanding of CAS techniques and their applications in computational mathematics. The session will include a Q&A session. Overall, the CAS techniques for pseudocode and computational mathematics session will equip attendees with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to leverage CAS effectively for solving diverse
mathematical problems efficiently and accurately.
Key takeaways:
1. The session will have an overview of computer algebra systems, explaining their role in performing symbolic mathematical computations, simplifications, and manipulations.
2. Learn to integrate CAS capabilities into pseudocode algorithms for solving mathematical problems.
3. Through practical examples, attendees explore how CAS can be utilised for symbolic manipulation and coding.
