Beschreibung
This book is open access under a CC BY License. The two EU Tempus-IV projects - MetaMath and MathGeAr - take a deep look at the current methodologies of mathematics education for technical and engineering disciplines. The projects aim at improving the existing math curricula in Russian, Georgia and Armenian universities by introducing modern technology-enhanced learning (TEL) methods and tools, as well as by shifting the focus of technical math education from a purely theoretical tradition to a more applied paradigm. MetaMath and MathGeAr have brought together mathematics educators, TEL specialists and experts in education quality assurance form 21 organizations across six countries. A comprehensive comparative analysis of the entire spectrum of math courses in the EU, Russia, Georgia and Armenia has been conducted. Its results allowed the consortium to pinpoint and introduce several curricular modifications while preserving the overall strong state of the university math education in these countries. The methodology, the procedure and the results of this analysis are presented here. These projects have been funded with support from the European Commission.
