| “What are some problems facing the world today?” |
This provocative question has become the standard opening gambit in my math teaching. Students’ responses include: climate change, terrorism, HIV/AIDS, Asian flu, energy dependence, over population, animal extinctions and pollution. I go on to explain that a major goal of our math course will be to see how mathematics can be used to address these important societal issues. All to often, mathematics courses focus exclusively on the mathematical content without making linkages to such larger issues. |
