Improvisation, Play and Persistence — SCMA4107.01

Instructor: Betsy Sherman and Katie Montovan

Credits: 2

When we first come into this world, we are endlessly curious about everything, without the self-consciousness we acquire later in life. When we get to school, many of us are told that there is a single right way to answer questions, whether about a poem or the material world. We are discouraged from trying different approaches and all too often we learn that “failing” to get

Infinity — MAT2109.03

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre

Credits: 1

A large part of modern mathematics has to do with how we conceptualize and manage the idea of infinity. This occurs in different places: the infinity of the horizon line that appeared with the development of perspective drawing, the infinitely small and infinitely many quantities of calculus, the infinite depth of fractals. This class will survey some of these concepts and
