Hope you and yours are all well. Thanks to the health care and essential workers out there. Heading into an unusual end of the school year and waiting to hear what's in store for Fall.
Mentimeter
I have started many of the online class sessions with a
Mentimeter to get input from students. Below is the feedback from the last day of class (Weds 4/29). Mentimeter allows you to "Create interactive presentations & meetings, wherever you are." The free version includes "Unlimited audience size. Unlimited presentations. Data may be anonymized and used for inspiration."
In his
farewell speech as President of MAA (
Mathematical Association of America),
Francis Su delivered a talk on his unique way of looking at Math. This book is an extension of that presentation and expounds on Su's 13 virtues of Math each with its own chapter: flourishing, exploration, meaning, play, beauty, permanence, truth, struggle, power, justice, freedom, community and love.
Reflections at the end of each chapter are from Christopher Jackson, an inmate at a federal security prison who has corresponded with Su for years. Su and Jackson recently published a
paper on topology with 6 other authors.
