First Semester in Numerical Analysis with Julia presents the theory and methods, together with the implementation of the algorithms using the Julia programming language (version 1.1.0). The book covers computer arithmetic, root-finding, numerical quadrature and differentiation, and approximation theory. The reader is expected to have studied calculus and linear algebra. Some familiarity with a programming language is beneficial, but not required. The programming language Julia will be introduced in the book. The simplicity of Julia allows bypassing the pseudocode and writing a computer code directly after the description of a method while minimizing the distraction the presentation of a computer code might cause to the flow of the main narrative.

This book focuses on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), discrete convolution, and, particularly, the fast algorithms to calculate them. These topics have been at the center of digital signal processing since its beginning, and new results in hardware, theory and applications continue to keep them important and exciting. This book uses an index map, a polynomial decomposition, an operator factorization, and a conversion to a filter to develop a very general and efficient description of fast algorithms to calculate the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The work of Winograd is outlined, chapters by Selesnick, Pueschel, and Johnson are included, and computer programs are provided.

This course is intended for prospective and practicing elementary and middle school teachers. By exploring physical phenomena in class, you will learn science in ways in which you are expected to teach science in schools or in informal settings such as afterschool programs, youth group meetings, and museum workshops. This course also is appropriate for general science students and others interested in exploring some of the physical phenomena underlying global climate change. The theme for the course is: What happens when light from the Sun shines on the Earth? The emphasis is on questioning, predicting, exploring, observing, discussing, reading, and writing about what one thinks and why. This first unit focuses on exploring the nature of light phenomena. Among the unit’s many goals are two primary ones: to learn about light phenomena and to learn about ways to foster science learning for yourself and others such as your family, friends, and students.

Los cambios experimentados en los últimos años en el contexto científico-tecnológico y educativo, han revolucionado las formas de pensar y actuar. Ante esto la comunidad educativa en los diferentes niveles de enseñanza, incluyendo la Educación Superior, se han visto en la necesidad de repensar y adaptar las estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje para poder dar respuestas a la diversidad existente en cada grupo escolar y nivel de enseñanza. En el caso de la Educación Superior lo expuesto a presupuesto no sólo, el diseño de nuevos modelos educativos y curriculares, sino también ha implicado un hacer pedagógico y didáctico diferente, frente a un alumnado permeado por los avances tecnológicos, con aspiraciones y necesidades cada vez más creciente. Es por ello que el hecho de enseñar en los tiempos modernos en el contexto de la Educación Superior exige contar con un profesorado altamente calificado, preparado y competente, capaz de hacer frente a un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje donde los estudiantes deben ser gestores de su propio aprendizaje y los docentes facilitadores de las estrategias de enseñanza para el logro de un aprendizaje que fomente la formación integral y la preparación para la inserción laboral de forma adecuada.
