Abstract:
Computational methods improve the quality of the educational process. In the present day, fields such as the Internet of Things and blockchain offer significant advantages for students' learning, by incorporating computational language, to solve diverse mathematical problems from various physics domains, including the polymers teaching field. Our research presents a novel approach to integrating mathematics and computer science for educational objectives, with applicability towards the polymers teaching field. In this study, we have employed Bode's and Simpson's 3/8 formulae to solve the problem. The implementation was done using three programming languages often used in computer science: C++, Python, and C#. A diligent mathematical problem was successfully solved and comprehensively described, to augment the pupils' understanding. This strategy was devised to foster the student's inquisitiveness in the realms of mathematics and computer science.
