Abstract:
Using
interdisciplinary applications in your teaching can be a rewarding
experience for your students. But whether you are developing your own
course or trying to incorporate an interdisciplinary approach into an existing
course, finding appropriate applications and presenting them well can be
difficult.
This panel discussion features teachers who have had success teaching
courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Wavelets, using real
applications. A combination of presentations from the panelists and a
question-and-answer session with the audience will cover issues such as
fitting interdisciplinary courses into the department curriculum, how to
choose appropriate applications, and how to present those applications in
lecture, homework, or course projects to best enhance student learning and
not sacrifice other elements of the syllabus
