Activating Students in Introductory Mathematics Tutorials

This paper describes a pedagogical pattern for mathematics tutorials with two different solutions depending on the underlying philosophy of learning or teaching. The aim of tutorials for introductory mathematics courses is for students to practice and apply what they have learned during the lecture. Adopting the traditional approach tutors show how to solve the given problems. Students observe ...

Introductory science and mathematics education for 21st-Century biologists.

Galileo wrote that "the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics"; his quantitative approach to understanding the natural world arguably marks the beginning of modern science. Nearly 400 years later, the fragmented teaching of science in our universities still leaves biology outside the quantitative and mathematical culture that has come to define the physical sciences and engin...

Article Introductory Life Science Mathematics and Quantitative Neuroscience Courses

We describe two sets of courses designed to enhance the mathematical, statistical, and computational training of life science undergraduates at Emory College. The first course is an introductory sequence in differential and integral calculus, modeling with differential equations, probability, and inferential statistics. The second is an upper-division course in computational neuroscience. We pr...
