Teaching Mathematics in Colleges and Universities: Case Studies for Today's Classroom
Author: Solomon Friedberg
language: en
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
Release Date: 2001
Presents teaching situations for analysis so that mathematicians can develop teaching skills. Examples are chosen to afford analysis from a broad perspective. Each case raises a variety of pedagogical and communication issues that may be explored either individually or in a group facilitated by a faculty member. Issues include weak student knowledge of prerequisites, cheating, grading, helping struggling students, and teaching specific concepts. Friedberg is director of the Boston College Mathematics Case Studies Project. c. Book News Inc.
Teaching Mathematics in Colleges and Universities
Progress in mathematics frequently occurs first by studying particular examples and then by generalizing the patterns that have been observed into far-reaching theorems. Similarly, in teaching mathematics one often employs examples to motivate a general principle or to illustrate its use. This volume uses the same idea in the context of learning how to teach: By analyzing particular teaching situations, one can develop broadly applicable teaching skills useful for the professional mathematician. These teaching situations are the Case Studies of the title. Just as a good mathematician seeks bot.
