Multimedia animation for mathematical application in engineering

Abstract

Abstract The concept of mathematical applications in engineering is still difficult for students to understand because besides they have to understand the technical concepts; they also be able to associate it with the mathematical concepts. One aspect that needs more understanding of this concept is how to visualize the technical concepts so that mathematical rules can be modelled. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop multimedia animation for the concept of mathematical applications in the field of engineering. The method used in this study is analysing the development needs of multimedia, both in software and hardware, the material of mathematical application that used in engineering, design, development, and testing. The results of the study show that multimedia animation in the application concept of mathematical in engineering is able to explain abstract concepts from mathematical concepts in engineering. The results of testing from media and material experts show that this animation multimedia is considered feasible to use.
