...Unless the students have lots of experience in math, it's not surprising that it's not easy," he says. "It's a select group of people. We don't start from scratch...
...theory behind Math 55 is that we wanted to design a course that helps [students] mature as mathematicians rather than as course takers," Professor of Mathematics Clifford H. Taubes says. "People can do wonderfully at passing math but not being good mathematicians...
With a drop rate of slightly over 50 percent, Math 55 seems to be more of a challenge than most entering students expect. According to Assistant Professor of Mathematics Pavel Etingof, who teaches the course, 23 of the 43 people originally in the class dropped out, bringing the number of students down to 20 Harvard students and one MIT student...
...York City and started an environmental lecture series there that ran from 1991 to '94. A few years later, he asked a former president of the business school club to join with him and a New Jersey school superintendent in a project for fifth-grade students: using their math, geography and social studies knowledge, the students were to design alternative modes of transportation for New Jerseyans commuting to Manhattan's World Trade Center. It was but one of several Linking Industry Nature Knowledge & Systems projects Henn would initiate with the school superintendent...
...assume that mathematics as we know it is still valid within Memorial Hall. We must look to alternate explanations for the phenomenon. Assistant Professor of Mathematics Mike J. Nakamaye, who teaches Math 25a: "Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra," has put forward one theory. "Measurements of fat content in Annenberg food undoubtedly rest on faulty linear approximation techniques," he said in an e-mail message. "To the extent that the food at Annenberg is everywhere homogeneous and nowhere differentiable, linear approximations are doomed to failure...
