Introduction to the use of projects
|
This is a Phase II expansion grant from the National Science Foundation (2008-2011). The goal is to develop, classroom test, evaluate and disseminate curricular modules (projects) based on primary historical sources. Projects are available for the following courses: Abstract Algebra, Algorithms, Automata and Formal Languages, Calculus, Combinatorics, Data Structures, Discrete Mathematics, Graph Theory, Introduction to Computer Science, Mathematical Logic, Programming Languages, Theory of Computation. This is a collaborative work between Mathematics (Math) and Computer Science (CS) faculty at New Mexico State University (NMSU), Old Dominion University (ODU), and Colorado State University at Pueblo (CSU-P). The web page for our previous Phase I NSF pilot grant, explaining our pedagogical goals, along with a list of available projects from that grant is at http://www.math.nmsu.edu/hist_projects. April 2012 Workshop: Call for Participation Workshop on Authorship of Student Projects Based on Primary Historical Sources for Courses in Mathematics or Computer Science will be on April 16-17, 2012. Any instructor or graduate student of computer science or mathematics who is interested in developing or testing projects based on primary historical sources is invited to participate. For more information please check the flyer. Sponsors Random historical quote |
