The class will be primarily based on projects, which will be loosely coordinated with the sections of MA374 being taught in the Winter.\u00a0 Your homework will be making things.\u00a0 Your grade will be based on your creative ideas and how well you can explain the mathematical concepts that you use to your classmates!<\/p>\n
Class Schedule Information<\/a> from Banner<\/h3>\n(Note that the class is officially meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the room will also be reserved Monday and Wednesday for “studio time” where you can work on projects with or without my help.)<\/p>\n
