Abstract

In 2015, a course in numerical computations using Python (NUMA01) was made obligatory in the first semester of math studies for all students in the Bachelor program in Mathematics at the Faculty of Science in Lund. Here, we discuss how this has influenced the course in introductory
Calculus (MATA21).
