| Nov 6, 2009 at 22:36 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | We do a bit of that in some of our courses -- numerical methods for differential equations, for example. But we can't expect students to know much about programming so this severely limits the kinds of things you can ask the students to do. I'd love it if they had a solid C++ background, which would allow us to dive into things like arbitrary-precision number systems, interval arithmetic and such. | |
