Assignments for Week 14
R = Readings ._._. W = Writings
- (R) Read the short new chapter on
linear algebra and related subjects.
Also read my "lecture" for the week
(when available).
- (RW) STANDING ASSIGNMENT EVERY WEEK:
Read the parts (if any) of your "general history" book
corresponding to this week's material.
You are encouraged to mail in ("report to the class") anything interesting or
important that you found in your reading that's not in the online material.
- (W) Term papers are due next Monday, December 8 (not Friday, Dec. 5 as
originally announced).
- (W)
Most of you chose to write about history in math education for your second paper,
which is fine. However, I would appreciate it if you would drop me a short (one
paragraph), informal e-mail message about your "general history" book, telling
whether you would recommend it as a required textbook in this course (either
instead of Dr. Allen's on-line text, or in addition). If you already covered
this question in your second paper, the message is unnecessary.
Thank you.
