Abstract
During postgraduate education, “Applied Mathematics” is the most important public basic course for most science and engineering majors. However, fusion of applied mathematical theory and academic application is needed to analyze because of current change of training objective in postgraduate education. Therefore, this paper improves the teaching approach of course “Applied Mathematics” in order to press close to current training objective. Firstly, the difference is studied between classical objective which is inclined to theoretical theory and current objective which is inclined to academic application in postgraduate education. Furthermore, based on the difference we analyzed, an improved teaching method based on practical teaching is provided to solve this problem. Finally, experimental results show effectiveness and practicability of proposed method.
