CARRERA, Miguel. Use of dynamic simulations in Matlab as part of the process of teaching-learning of the derivative, defined integral and calculation of volumes. RCTU [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.1, pp.36-41. ISSN 1390-7697.  https://doi.org/10.26423/rctu.v5i1.306.

The mathematics of all time has had as the main source of inspiration the visualization, playing an important role in the development of concepts, notions and basic ideas of the differential and integral calculus. This article provides tools and basic methods of relatively simple use developed in the computational package Matlab, by developing topics such as the geometric definition of derivative, the definite integral and calculation of volumes of revolution using the disk method, which allows to obtain very powerful results in "animated" dynamic simulations that serve as support and facilitating didactic resource in the teachinglearning process of calculus. Modifying and renewing in the first instance the traditional way of teaching this subject in the first years of the basic university cycle in this institution and why not in the country. In addition, it is expected that this publication allows to banish the paradigm around the student community, that has related to the calculus with a pure and completely algebraic, static and rote idea.
