Math preceptor Eva Politou will introduce an AI tutor to Math 21a (Multivariable Calculus) this fall in the workshop portion of the course. Students will generate questions about a specific topic and search for answers with the AI tutor acting as a guide. news.harvard.edu/gazette/sto…

That's a wrap for the 2024 "Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Sciences" workshop! Thanks to our instructors, @alan_garfinkel and @EricJDeeds, as well as all the participants who brought lively discussion and unique perspectives to the table!

As reliance on technology and algorithms grows across every industry, equitable #math opportunities are more critical than ever for a thriving #democracy.
Executive director @PamelaBurdman explores these themes from #TMO24 in a new blog.

Listen to our very own Professor Laura DeMarco speak on mathematics as a “whole unexplored universe which has no boundaries!” She joined the @RadInstitute podcast to reconsider not only what math is but also what it can do—and who can do it. #harvardmath radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-a…

I notice that many of you are debating direct instruction and inquiry-based learning again. I wrote up some thoughts about that debate. danmeyer.substack.com/p/how-…

This infographic from @educationweek reinforces the emphasis teachers place on data science as an essential element of math learning.

I'm extensively quoted in this EdSurge article, picked up by USA Today and tweeted by the MAA. But the tweet doesn't really do justice to the article or pioneering approach here. It's not the old idea of teaching calculus through real world problems. I'll go deeper... (1/n)
Some educators argue it’s time to change how calculus is taught.
They say teaching students through real-world problems helps students find math approachable and relevant, making them more likely to succeed while studying it. Do you agree?

great workshop at Harvard last month on how to teach a modeling-based math course to biology undergrads. Led by Brendan Kelly and Jennifer Czocher, and taught by Eric Deeds (UCLA) and me, we had 30 faculty participants. (1/2)

How does HS math prepare students for college math? What can we do to optimize success? It's a great question - one that we now have a lot of data about. It's complicated & easily-misinterpreted. And what those data reveal is pretty astonishing.
Buckle up.. 1/18

Every so often, this incident comes up on social media and everybody has a laugh at the ignorant biologist that didn't know basic math. I think this case illustrates something very toxic about the way many of us think about a life in science.

A senior-year math class can help students reach and complete college.
When “all other things [are] equal, the choice to take a senior-year math course increases the chances that a student will earn a bachelor’s degree within 6 years by an amazing 15%.”

We wish Dusty Grundmeier the very best in the next part of his academic career! The Harvard math community will miss him dearly, but we look forward to seeing his teaching inspire even more students! thecrimson.com/article/2023/…
