INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS TO BRIDGE THE DIDACTIC GAP BETWEEN CALCULUS AND FLIGHT PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
C. Varriale¹, F. Angioni¹; ¹Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
A pedagogical framework connects mathematical optimization theory to aircraft performance analysis. Using marimo reactive notebooks in Python, learners are progressively guided from univariate optimization to Karush-Kuhn-Tucker analysis, and formally apply it to flight performance optimization problems where constraints representing equilibrium equations and physical limits are made explicit.
