Launchings

Professor David Bressoud teaches at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota and he is a former president of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). It is fitting that he writes a monthly column for the MAA and given his own research interests, it is appropriate that it deals with studies of mathematics pedagogy and related subjects. Visitors can look through each month's column and they...

MAA Online: Research Sampler

The Mathematical Association of America presents this series of in-depth articles on "undergraduate mathematics education." Only eight articles have been contributed since the column's beginning in 1996, but there have already been two excellent ones for 2003. The first is titled Learning and Teaching Ordinary Differential Equations, which explores a change in the way the subject is taught, both...

Mathematics Across the Community College Curriculum

Most people might be aware that mathematics finds its way into a number of instructional programs and courses that are most decidedly not focused on this important discipline. Math is present in a wide range of courses, ranging from fashion design to sociology. Led by The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) along with a number of community colleges (including Miami Dade...

Mathematics Awareness Month 2008

Voting is on the minds of many these days, including politicians, statisticians, policy wonks, and a number of talking heads. With that in mind, it's not surprising that the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics has offered up "Math and Voting" for the theme of Mathematics Awareness Month 2008. The site is full of compelling activities, contests, and thoughtful essays, and even those who feel some...
