MATE 3317 Perspectives in Mathematics and Science

This upper-division course explores a selection of topics and episodes in the history of mathematics and science. It provides an overview of the history of mathematics and science, and puts these historical perspectives to work in pedagogy. Also, it promotes intellectual curiosity and enhances students critical thinking skills, and improves their presentation and writing skills. Students will design and prepare two 5E lessons plans of 1200 words each and make a presentation of one lesson plan to a group of peers and critique presentations of others.
