Dana Országhová:The Graphic Visualization – the Part of the Solution of Applied Mathematical Tasks
Full paper

Abstract: Graphical representation of data and processes in various scientific fields and also in different areas of practical life is useful way for their better understanding. In the paper we concentrated on applied tasks focused on economics, especially in the area of detecting properties of functions. The second area is the usage of the definite integral and its application in the calculation of the consumer surplus and the producer surplus. Via solving of applied tasks using a graphic visualization students gain the necessary knowledge and skills for the study of specialized economic courses. We present the results of the brief knowledge survey which was aimed on mentioned mathematical topics. Graphical sketch of the task solution with application, as the output of solving, help students to create and understand the relation between abstract theoretical term and its practical usage. Collected results confirm that graphic visualization provides opportunities for innovation in the content and methods of teaching mathematics.

Keywords: mathematics education, functions, definite integral, economics application.
