Extraterrestrial Intelligence Teaching Early in my physics career, I decided to use physics primarily as a way to make a living. Since I had many interests outside the field of physics, from river running and mountaineering to world travel, the career that appealed to me most was university teaching, as it would give me a lot of free time, which to me was worth a lot more than money. So, after I got my Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, I started to look around for a teaching job in the San Francisco bay area. In 1966, I got an offer from Sonoma State University, and here-several decades later- (albeit partially retired)-I still am. When I came to Sonoma State, the campus was very young, and people were pretty much making things up as they went along. So, as the first chairman, I made up the physics and astronomy department, and had a great deal of fun doing it. For a while, there was nothing else like it in the world. Later, the dead hand of bureaucracy and conservative rigor mortis struck the university, and things had to be done differently, and much less creatively. But that's another story. Somewhat to my surprise, I found that I really liked teaching. What I didn't like was the bureaucracy associated with grades-I still haven't decided whether grades are a necessary evil. It is undoubtedly still true that the only real way to learn a subject is to get the hardest book you can find on it and then-by yourself-wrestle the stuff to a standstill. In this view-my view- a teacher can only be a tour guide. Some people still seem to hope that they need only settle back in a class and let the teacher pour the subject into their brains- and that learning the subject will thereby take place effortlessly and with no pain. Alas, not true. In learning as in weight lifting and other areas: no pain, no gain.

Extractions: Pre-calculus Online for Teachers A Teacher Quality Institute Syllabus The schedule: Pre-calculus consists of six modules of material. The modules as prescribed by the TEKS included the topics of functions and operations with them, models of real-life problems, with regression, sequences and series, parametric equations and conics, and vectors. It is planned over the year to cover in detail each of these modules as described at the website http://distance-ed.math.tamu.edu/Precalculus_home/index.htm The production of these materials was funded as a part of the Teacher Quality Grant Type A funding, 2004. In addition, it is planned to present materials on technology, rubrics, pedagogy, assessment, and best teaching practices. Students will have opportunities at each step of the process to demonstrate their new skills. We plan to ask students to develop lesson plans based on various content levels, develop rubrics for assessment, analyze multiple-choice high stakes examinations for clues to their integrity, and to create assessments. Regular participant presentations will be required.
Extractions: Annual Report 1998 Contents UNU/IIST Fellows are primarily selected by staff during visits to partner institutions, but also through off-shore training activities and participation in conferences and seminars. Potential candidates for Fellowships must satisfy a number of criteria: Basically, Fellows receive three types of training at UNU/IIST: Research training - whereby Fellows are trained in doing research, in asking relevant scientific questions, and in the techniques for solving these. During their Fellowship period, they are expected to write scientific reports and are encouraged to submit them to journals and scientific conferences. Development training - whereby Fellows are trained in advanced development of software - in methods, principles, techniques and tools. Fellows are also encouraged to produce technical reports for external publication. Curriculum Development - whereby Fellows spend typically 3-6 months at UNU/IIST, during which time they develop, together with UNU/IIST staff, course curricula and course material for post-graduate and post-doctoral courses. At the end of their Fellowship, they take home course material and software for the support of the methods being taught (see description of this activity above).

Mathed Activities For mathematics majors who are considering secondary teaching, The calculus Readiness Test is used by the UCLA Mathematics Department to determine http://www.math.ucla.edu/~twg/mathed.html
Extractions: I could write a book about my adventures as a mathematician in math-education land. Maybe sometime I will. For now, here is a sketch of my involvement in the math-education scene. The Mathematics Content Program for Teachers (MCPT) is a Mathematics Department program that offers a series of professional development courses for elementary and secondary mathematics teachers. The MCPT courses can be taken for Mathematics x400 unit credit through UCLA Extension. The courses are offered on site, through arrangements with local school districts. Roughly 30 courses are offered each quarter, to about 350 participants. The Director of the MCPT is Shelley Kriegler, who has directed the program since its founding in 1999. My role has been to participate in the design of the courses and the writing of materials for the program, which is a large team project following a "lesson study" model. Occasionally I present material to various groups of teachers and math educators. I also serve as liaison between the MCPT and the Mathematics Department. A primary goal of the MCPT is to provide a series of courses that covers the mathematics content recommended for the mathematics subject matter preparation of middle school mathematics teachers. A suite of eight courses in the program was recently certified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) as a program meeting the subject matter requirements for the Supplementary Authorization, which allows multiple subject credential holders to teach mathematics courses through algebra I.

The CAS In Multivariable Calculus Probably the best spot of all that we ve found to use a CAS is to teach the concept While this is a valid activity, another way is to use the graphics http://archives.math.utk.edu/ICTCM/EP-8/C16/html/paper.html
Extractions: It was three years ago that my colleague, Tim Sipka, and I decided to begin incorporating computer algebra system (CAS) technology into our calculus program. We opted to use the CAS, not to supplant hand computation altogether as some good programs have done, but instead to supplement our existing traditional program. Our simple guiding goal, we decided, would be to try to find ways to use the new technology to help students understand the concepts of calculus better. After experimenting with a few systems, we chose Maple and began developing laboratory assignments which students would carry out in groups of two or three. Of the sixteen topics we've used Maple to teach, I've found that the ones which are most enhanced by the technology are the multivariable topics. In this paper, I share two of the laboratory activities we have used to teach them. Also, I share the results of a student opinion survey about our project. The first of these is the topic of space curves. The purpose of the lab we wrote on this was to help students visualize three-dimensional curves by
