MAA CP I1
Enlivening Multivariate Calculus
Saturday, August 3, 2002, 3:15 pm -
5:15 pm Sarah L. Mabrouk, Framingham State
College, Organizer |
This
session invites papers about the use of applications, unique proofs,
projects/assignments, or demonstrations that enliven a Multivariate Calculus
course, helping students to explore concepts, to understand the meaning of the
mathematics that they study, and to develop an appreciation for
Mathematics. Each presenter is encouraged
to discuss how the use of the application, unique proof, project/assignment, or
classroom demonstration fits into and enlivens the course, how its use
helped/motivated students to learn course material, to explore course concepts,
and/or to develop a greater appreciation of Mathematics. Of particular interest are
projects/assignments that continue in-class analysis, applications,
demonstrations, or proofs, student reaction, and the instructor’s impressions
of how the use of such applications, proofs, demonstrations, and/or
assignments/projects helped the students to gain a deeper understanding of
Multivariate Calculus.
