Linkages, 29 December The perils of graphing, from xkcd. Erin at Critical Mass claims that tenure is untenable and has already been phased out without our even knowing it. Good discussion in the comments. The New York state comptroller says that New York state college students could save $500 per year on textbooks by buying them online rather than in [...]... |

Re-envisioning Calculus Image via Wikipedia I had a really good couple of calculus sections last semester and another really good section last summer. Part of that has to do with the quality of the students I had — hard working and smart, even if not all of them had very deep mathematics backgrounds, and most importantly they all [...]... |

Merry Christmas Image via Wikipedia I’ll be taking a break from posting and commenting here at CO9’s until the beginning of next week. Tonight we have Christmas services at my church, and in-laws visiting all day tomorrow, and I’ll probably just want to rest for the remainder of the week! Until then, have an enjoyable and blessed Christmas, even [...]... |

Tough Times? Via Instapundit, here’s a letter from Soren Sorenson, chair of the University of Tennessee Department of Physics, titled “Tough Times”. In it, Prof. Sorenson details the effects of the economic downturn on the physics department: Our department used to have a large group of lecturers and adjunct teaching staff, who would be responsible for many of [...]... |

What Does Academic Rigor Look Like? I got an email from a fellow edu-blogger a couple of days ago asking for my input on the subject of academic rigor. Specifically this person asked: Is the quest for more rigor an issue for you? Is it good, bad, meaningless? What does rigorous teaching look like in your classroom? I hope she doesn’t mind my [...]... |

Ten Rules For Financing A Transition To Academia My latest post at the Young Mathematicians Network blog is on how to get from graduate school to your first academic job without hopelessly screwing yourself over financially speaking, like I did. It takes some time for the post to appear on the YMN web site, so I will include it below the fold for [...]... |

Name That Math Contest Trophy My college operates a high school math contest each year. It involves both an individual competition and a team competition. We’re thinking of starting up a tradition for the team competition where the winners are given a trophy which resides at the winning school each year. So, if Central High School wins, they get the [...]... |

Leibniz On 1+1=2 From Kuo & Joe, here’s an interesting article on different philosophers’ views on what it means for 1+1 to equal 2 and how their concept of divinity plays into their ideas. Leibniz’ view seems the most compelling: When Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, an inventor of the calculus, was asked by one of his students, “Why is one [...]... |

Well… That hiatus over Thanksgiving has now turned into what looks like a hiatus for most of this week. Somehow I always underestimate the amount of work that goes into the week before finals week, which is what this is. I think after tomorrow it will calm down a little, and then I can post a [...]... |

Thanksgiving Break And Thoughts I’ll be taking a hiatus from blogging from today through Sunday as the Casting Out Nines crew travels to Tennessee to visit the grandparents for Thanksgiving. We normally make our long road trip to the Volunteer State at Christmas, but this year that’s way too close to Harrison’s arrival to be traveling. I love Thanksgiving because [...]... |
