According to Cabot Professor of Chemistry Roy G. Gordon ’61, the new course will be less mathematical in focus than Chem. 10, which included a section on quantum mechanics requiring high-level math...
...future, as well as an activity that allows them to be creative. It's educational too--kids can see measurements in action. "It's application learning," says Maureen Serrao-Cole, founder of Kid Chef, a cooking program for kids in Austin, Texas. "It uses reading, math, science and art. And when you're talking fractions to kids, it helps to have a cup of flour in your hand...
...intend to dilute the material, and that the class would be difficult. The hypocrisy here is patent, and, sadly, highly prevalent. One hears a abundance of whining about the lack of rigor in Core courses, but when push comes to shove, most of the complainers opt for Magic over Math 21a, “If there is no God.…” over Philosophy 174, “Matter in the Universe” over Chem. 10. Until the enrollment of the most difficult Core courses begins to swell and that of the easier ones begins...
...uses study groups and problem set groups to help him through his many math and science classes. An applied math concentrator, his six fall classes and five spring classes include several economics, physics and math classes. “I’m trying to make the most of my Harvard education,” Tam says. “My motto is ‘take more and learn more.’” He professes to be more interested in the overall quality of his education than in his grades. “I feel like...
...would be absurd to choose between math majors based on, say, who will be better on his intramural sports team. Picture an admissions committee mulling over two candidates: “Well, this one won the International Math Olympiad, but only averaged 7.6 points per game on varsity basketball in high school. This one didn’t even make it past the national math competition, but scored 10 per game on varsity basketball, and what a shotblocker! Let’s admit...
