Abstract
This paper explores methods of bridging the gap between a basic mathematical background and the ability to learn and use more advanced techniques. It is demonstrated how students with an average (say, High School) level of mathematics skills can learn Dynamic Programming in an enjoyable manner. The approach presented has proven to be an easy to learn and easy to use practical method. The main purpose of this paper is to find out if the use of innovative teaching and learning approaches (including multimedia and web-enhanced systems)contribute to students’ learning and success in the assessments. The presented method of teaching and learning has resulted in allowing an opportunity for the average student to learn a relatively advanced topic successfully. It has also made learning a mathematical topic an enjoyable experience for students.
