Application of MATLAB in the teaching of probability theory and mathematical statistics

Abstract

“Probability theory and mathematical statistics” is an important public compulsory course of arithmetical foundation. MATLAB software is introduced into the teaching process to make some abstract concepts and theorems expressed in the form of graphics to achieve visualization effect. This method makes it easy for students to understand, improve their learning enthusiasm and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Local instructional theory of probability topics based on realistic mathematics education for eight-grade students

“…Teaching materials and innovative learning methods will help students understand and overcome probability topic difficulties (Mezhennaya & Pugachev, 2019). In a previous study, Zeng (2020) used models and media to overcome students' difficulties in probability. Zeng (2020) also adopted MATLAB for the learning process.…”
