Abstract
Some mathematical software offers capabilities for designing personalized graphical interfaces. Users that interact with these tools only have to load data to obtain results, avoiding code frequently hard to understand. One of the best advantages of these tailor-made windows is that students can focus on the issue being studied, instead of the code/language used. The discussion of the code may be the next step. Taking advantage of these possibilities, the research Group GIE (Grupo IngenierÃa & Educacion, in Spanish) of the Universidad Tecnologica Nacional from Argentina has been developing, since 2008, a collection of tailor-made windows related to the different issues of Numerical Analysis. The use of these tools in class is guided so as conceptual discussions arise, to make students appreciate the importance of the application of numerical methods. This paper shows some of the new tools developed with Mathematica for solving different engineering problems using numerical methods.
