Optimization problems are in the focus of this module 1 in order to give an introduction in using and teaching with the technology,
because optimization problems can be solved with different representations and according to that with different tools.
Therefore this topic is a very good field for this introduction.
But be aware, that different representations also offer different approaches and strategies in other fields.
Reflect and discuss the interaction between representations with your trainees:
- Do they use different representations? If yes, in which field, for which topic?
- For what aims do the trainees use the change and interaction between representations:
- To find (different) approaches
- To use them as heuristic strategies
- To seek (?) for explanations
