Computational and applied mathematics are growing in popularity and relevance.  As students prepare for either the job market or graduate school, it is increasingly more important that their mathematics courses reflect the changing landscape of the field.  In this talk, I will detail my development and initial implementation of two new courses: Applied Calculus I…

Affect (e.g., beliefs, attitudes, emotions) plays a crucial role in mathematics learning, but reliance on verbal and written responses (from surveys, interviews, etc.) can limit students’ expression of their affective states. As a complement to existing methods, we explore how asking students to graph their affect can be used to study their mathematical experiences. I…

Desmos Activity Builder is an online tool that can be used in a variety of ways in and out of the classroom. It can be used to introduce concepts or as a learning assessment during or outside of class. In this session we will explore some ways to use Desmos activities in your classroom. We…
