ANIMATION OF ESSENTIAL CALCULUS CONCEPTS IN MAPLE
Original language description
The notion of the limit of a real function belongs to essential concepts of calculus. A part of higher schools students has learned the notion in the secondary school mathematics, but, as a rule, the concept of the limit is one of the crucial introductory topics in calculus lectured at universities. Some students understand the concept only intuitively, mainly due to ideas based on the movement of a body. There are different ways how a teacher could demonstrate the correspondence between the intuitive insight and the exact definition of the limit. The paper shows how the concept of limit of a function can be illustrated with Maple animation. The paper deals also with the principle of some other animations, e.g. of continuity of function and the derivative of a function at a point, and the Riemann?s definite integral. More general problems on teaching and learning are discussed, especially those connected with the special role of learning outcomes in calculus.
