    Changing Our Educational Institutions: Transition From Traditional To E-Learning Programs
    (Ieee, 2004) Yazici, A; Karakaya, Z; Dalgarno, B; Altas, I
    In this. paper we examine basic elements of e-Learning, the features of the e-Learning model under implementation at Atilim University and the expected impact of the model on the organization of the institution. The paper also draws on examples at other institutions in discussing the issues that. form the dynamics of organizational change within Universities in the 21(st) century.

    Romberg Integration
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2003) Yazici, A; Ergenç, T; Altas, I
    Higher order approximations of an integral can be obtained from lower order ones in a systematic way. For 1-D integrals Romberg Integration is an example which is based upon the composite trapezoidal rule and the well-known Euler-Maclaurin expansion of the error. In this work, Mathematica is utilized to illustrate the method and the underlying theory in a symbolic fashion. This approach seems plausible for discussing integration in a numerical computing laboratory environment.

    Symbolic Polynomial Interpolation Using Mathematica
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2004) Yazici, A; Altas, I; Ergenc, T
    This paper discusses teaching polynomial interpolation with the help of Mathematica. The symbolic power of Mathematica is utilized to prove a theorem for the error term in Lagrange interpolating formula. Derivation of the Lagrange formula is provided symbolically and numerically. Runge phenomenon is also illustrated. A simple and efficient symbolic derivation of cubic splines is also provided.
