Abstract

 

Software tools designed for numerical analysis are widely applied in both academia and scientific inquiry. These tools range from proprietary applications to freely available open-source alternatives. Their adoption is largely driven by the challenges associated with complex mathematical operations, especially those involving linear computations. Additionally, the growing presence of multiple variables in both linear and nonlinear expressions necessitates efficient computational solutions. This study set out to explore key pedagogical strategies, instructional techniques, and creative approaches for delivering linear equation concepts at the tertiary education level. By integrating this framework into the curriculum, educators can foster improved comprehension of topics like solving systems of linear equations—an essential skill for students pursuing engineering disciplines. In response to these needs, the investigation presented Scilab as a practical, low-cost programming environment suitable for numerical computation. The proposed use of Scilab includes its application in modeling mathematical problems. These structured techniques could then be repurposed as instructional resources for math-focused courses.
