Course Information for Fall 2006
-
Math 3001 Mathematics Tutoring Experience
Prereq: MATH 1552, EDCI 2001 and
concurrent enrollment in EDCI 3001. This course
provides a carefully supported, monitored, and evaluated
mathematics tutoring experience in a local middle or high
school under the guidance of a mathematics faculty member and
a mentoring mathematics teacher in the local school.
-
Math 3002 Mathematics Classroom Presentations
Prereq: MATH 3001, EDCI 3001 and
concurrent enrollment in EDCI 3002. Under the
supervision of a mathematics faculty member and a mentoring
mathematics teacher in a local school, students will prepare
and deliver middle and/or high school mathematics lessons that
incorporate appropriate use of technology.
-
Math 7590 Riemannian and Symplectic Geometry
Prereq: MATH 7510.
This course is an introduction to Riemannian geometry:
manifolds, metrics, Levi-Civita connections, and curvature.
Riemannian geometry is key to understanding Einstein′s general
relativity and plays an important role in gauge theory and
invariants of smooth 4-manifolds. We will use this technology
to introduce and investigate symplectic geometry, another
important topic in mathematics that also comes from physics.
