Title- Use of a symbolic computation program to reinforce the spatial abilities of engineering students.
Abstract- This study presents an initiative that seeks to develop some skills of three-dimensional visualization by using the capabilities of programming and graphical representation of a computer algebra system, in this case Mathematica. It has been developed a specific procedure to allow engineering students represent the families of curves obtained by cutting the three-dimensional graph of a two-variable function with families of planes having different orientations. This initiative achieves an improvement over the use of the contour plots, shows a new point of view about the functions which depend of an angle, and can be extended to use non-planar surfaces.
