“…Yet another alternative is to teach undergraduate mathematics by engaging students in activities that address mathematical problems emerging in various domains outside of mathematics [27,37]. Through illustrations of this section, long-term efforts to incorporate this kind of alternative pedagogy into the teaching of undergraduate mathematics by introducing interdisciplinary projects (stemming from business/industry and university research) into calculus courses for engineering, business, and life sciences students at the University of South Florida (USF) will be shared.…”

This article focuses on the important role of applications in teaching mathematics to students with career paths other than mathematics. These include the fields as diverse as education, engineering, business, and life sciences. Particular attention is given to instructional computing as a means for concept development in mathematics education courses and the role of interdisciplinary projects in teaching upper level calculus. Various problems and models that emphasize the geometric roots of mathematics, its connections to other disciplines, and relevance to the outside world have been presented as meaningful tools to stimulate students' intellectual curiosity and develop their self-confidence in the subject matter. Didactical significance of famous results is discussed.

“…there are more equations than unknowns). Here, we would like to emphasize that, in contrast to the algorithms from relatively recent works (Michałowska-Kaczmarczyk et al, 2015;Marinichev et al, 2014;Turchen, 2012;Sen et al, 2006;Rash & Zurbach, 2004), the proposed algorithm is a regularized algorithm (according to Tikhonov), which ensures that, in a computer implementation, possible computational errors will not make the comprised system of algebraic equations to be incapable in solution. Remark 1.…”

In the present paper, on the basis of the theory of inverse and ill-posed problems, an algorithm is proposed that allows to unambiguously determine the stoichiometric coefficients in the equations of chemical reactions of any type, including redox reactions and acid-base reactions, and, regardless of whether the constructed system of linear algebraic equations for the desired stoichiometric coefficients is underdetermined (i.e. there are fewer equations than unknowns) or overdetermined (i.e. there are more equations than unknowns). The proposed algorithm is a regularized algorithm (according to Tikhonov), which ensures that, in a computer implementation, possible computational errors will not make the comprised system of linear algebraic equations to be incapable of solving.
