Math preceptor Eva Politou will introduce an AI tutor to Math 21a (Multivariable Calculus) this fall in the workshop portion of the course. Students will generate questions about a specific topic and search for answers with the AI tutor acting as a guide. news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

Curious how AI can boost learning in your math class?
Join us next Tuesday at 12 PM ET for an exciting session on how AI tools can transform students' learning experiences. #iteachmath #maanow @APSphysics olsume.org

My girlfriend, regarding my PhD in math: “it definitely gives you authority over higher level math but I sort of doubt your capabilities at simple math.”

As reliance on technology and algorithms grows across every industry, equitable #math opportunities are more critical than ever for a thriving #democracy.
Executive director @PamelaBurdman explores these themes from #TMO24 in a new blog.

Listen to our very own Professor Laura DeMarco speak on mathematics as a “whole unexplored universe which has no boundaries!” She joined the @RadInstitute podcast to reconsider not only what math is but also what it can do—and who can do it. #harvardmath radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-and-ideas…

@Mrs_Meowmerz The goal is to match the function’s k-th derivative with the polynomial’s k-th derivative at the chosen value x=a.

I'm forgetting calculus 2 😬😵 To stay sharp, I'm brushing up on Taylor Series, which was my weakness that semester. Can anyone advise why x=a? I'm not sure. I have attached that section from my textbook.

I notice that many of you are debating direct instruction and inquiry-based learning again. I wrote up some thoughts about that debate. danmeyer.substack.com/p/how-to-not-w…

It was so wonderful to welcome @CanopyinClouds to the department and lean into our commitment to #mentorship. Do you have a working definition of mentorship? Do you have a strategy to be an effective mentor? I am working on both!

Thanks to Greg Goldsmith @CanopyinClouds for speaking at this year's Jameel Al-Aidroos Mathematical Pedagogy Lecture Series on what it means to be a mentor! And thanks to everyone who participated and brought their unique experiences to the conversation. #harvardmath #Mentorship

It was such an honor to be able to spotlight data science education in higher Ed at this summit.
We need to increase rigor in mathematics classes by connecting the mathematics to the world and empowering students.

I'm extensively quoted in this EdSurge article, picked up by USA Today and tweeted by the MAA. But the tweet doesn't really do justice to the article or pioneering approach here. It's not the old idea of teaching calculus through real world problems. I'll go deeper... (1/n)
MAA@maanow
Some educators argue it’s time to change how calculus is taught. They say teaching students through real-world problems helps students find math approachable and relevant, making them more likely to succeed while studying it. Do you agree? edsurge.com/news/2023-09-0…
