Abstract

Designing good projects involving programming in numerical analysis for large groups of students with different backgrounds is a challenging task. The assignment has to be manageable for the average student, but to additionally inspire the better students it is preferable that it has some depth and leads to them to think about the subject. We describe a project that was assigned to the students of an introductory Numerical Analysis course at the University of Iceland. The assignment is to numerically compute the length of solution trajectories of a system of ordinary differential equations with a stable equilibrium point. While not difficult to do, the results are somewhat surprising and got the better students to get interested in what was happening. We describe the project, its solution using Matlab, and the underlying mathematics in some detail. Further, we discuss the pedagogical aspects of the project and the results in terms of its success and shortcomings.
