چکیده
Interdisciplinary component of the Mathematics course taught in the Arts and Science Programme at McMaster University is implemented in several ways, varying in depth, width and level of involvement of other courses. Of a number of issues related to the course, this paper uses instructors' experience and examples of students' writing to discuss the features of the narrative in mathematics. Used as a vehicle to enhance understanding of mathematics and to build and improve research and communication skills, good writing is a key to a successful and productive interdisciplinary mathematics course.

متن کاملMedia Arts in Support of Science Education
This paper examines the role of media arts in the development of interactive learning environments for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The use of technology-mediated interactive environments already provides greater access for science learning to wider, more diverse, and especially younger audiences. Since children typically enjoy playing computer games and interacting...
