EXPLAIN

EXPLoring Algorithms INteractively

Description

The EXPLAIN software consists of a set of interactive educational modules that aim to improve the student’s learning process for problems in combinatorial scientific computing. The underlying idea behind EXPLAIN is to explore the intimate connection between graphs and matrices. The solution of combinatorial problems arising from scientific computing is explored by manipulating problem instances interactively. By following a blended learning approach, the collection of educational modules requires the physical presence of both teacher and student in the classroom.
