STEINER'S THEOREM IN PHYSICS AND NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS

摘要

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of Interdisciplinary/ Cross-Curricular Teaching in mathematics and physics at the Technical University. In the process of solving a simple physics problem we can see benefits of mutual cooperation between mathematics and physics. A maths teacher can incorporate practical tasks into the teaching of numerical mathematics; these are exactly the types of tasks that help students to better understand the need and use of mathematics in other technical disciplines. A physics teacher can answer questions about numerical mathematics and show students step by step solutions "hidden" in software. This way the teachers are preventing isolation of theoretical knowledge and practical activities in student's minds.
