Session 3232 Teaching with an Interactive Book in a Computer Classroom Robert O. Harger University of Maryland Introduction A significant part of engineering education and practice is concerned with the creation and analysis ofmathematical models. Mathematical programming languages have evolved sufficiently to allow interactive modelrepresentation that enables relatively easy implementation, verification, analysis and simulation. Indeed, a modeland its simulation can be
