62. Lee Lady: HOMOLOGICAL ALGEBRA I wanted to teach essentially everything I knew about homological algebra and categorytheory, with a large dose of the kind of commutative ring theory that http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~lee/homolog/

A Course in Homological Algebra Professor E.L. Lady University of Hawaii In the fall of 1974, I returned to the University of Kansas after spending a year at the University of Illinois. During my time at Illinois, I had sat in on a course on Topos Theory (the most avant-garde form of category theory) given by John Gray, and had also attended the commutative ring theory seminars led by Robert Fossum, Philip Griffith, and Graham Evans. I had also spent a lot of time in the library, as usual reading on a large variety of topics, but most especially trying to understand the most recent commutative ring theory, especially as it related to algebraic geometry. Back at Kansas, the ring theorists were concerning themselves with the Gilmer-style theory of non-noetherian commutative rings, and were intimidated by any homological approach at all, even the bare mention of Ext. Paul Conrad who was the head of the algebra department (as it were) at Kansas suggested that I might like to teach a two-semester graduate topics course. I suggested that Homological Algebra might be an appropriate course. My objective was to educate the faculty as well as whatever students enrolled. And in fact, all three rings theorists Brewer, Rutter, and Philip Montgomery, attended regularly.

CTI Mathematics Workshop 08 USING MATLAB TO TEACH MATHEMATICS Report of a workshop held on Tuesday 19 March 1991 at the University of Birmingham This was the ninth of a regular programme of workshops looking at ways in which mathematical software and courseware can be used in a teaching context. It was chaired by Dr Mike Beilby, who began by stating the aims of the workshop. These were: to give insight into what the package can do, to those who haven't seen it before, and for those who have, to see it from a new perspective and to exchange information. 1. The influence of the computer on linear algebra courses - general aspects: J G M M Smits, Eindhoven University of Technology. Linear algebra courses begin with students learning how to solve equations like Ax=b, where A is a matrix and b a vector. Both A and b can easily be entered into Matlab, and the solution x obtained immediately. If the matrix is singular or ill-conditioned the package gives a suitable warning; if there is no solution, the package will produce the least squares fit. The questions arise, whether students should still be trained to do such calculations by hand, and, accepting that they should not, what do they still have to learn? The fact that linear algebra packages exist, even if they are not available in the classroom, means that linear algebra courses must take account of them.

CTI Mathematics Workshop 09 Report of a workshop held on Monday 16 September 1991 at the University of Birmingham Using Computers to teach Calculus This was the tenth of a regular programme of workshops looking at ways in which mathematical software and courseware can be used in a teaching context. The morning session was chaired by Dr Mike Beilby, who began by stating the aims of the workshop as follows: to look at the content of a first year calculus course, and to determine how teaching methods can be changed to reflect the effect of computers and computer packages on this part of the curriculum. It is the role of the CTI Centre to encourage initiatives in this area, and the proposal is that a consortium should be set up to develop suitable material. 1. Making full use of Computer Packages to teach Calculus Prof Fred Simons, Eindhoven University of Technology. Given that computers and computer algebra packages exist, should students still be trained to carry out complicated algebraic manipulations, or techniques of differentiation/integration, and, accepting that they should not, what do they learn instead? The aim should be to get students to use all the tools available to them in their study and professional life; traditionally we have taught only analytical techniques, but now we must include computer techniques too: the use of numerical and graphical tools and computer algebra packages. Even if one only wants to introduce some simple numerical techniques into a traditional calculus syllabus, it will be necessary to develop a completely new course. Topics that are very important without a computer may become irrelevant when a computer is at hand. Conversely the use of a computer may create the need to introduce topics not taught in traditional courses, and the teaching approach will be different. For example, in many topics it seems natural to present the computer techniques before the analytical ones.

69. Round 2 Grant Awards—UA Intermediate Algebra students place into Intermediate algebra, which essentially repeats material thatstudents should have learned in high school. Faculty teach the course in a http://www.center.rpi.edu/PewGrant/RD2 Award/UAplan.html

The Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign University of Alabama The Traditional Course Intermediate Algebra, a pre-General Studies course, enrolls approximately 1500 students every year. 50% of all entering undergraduate students place into Intermediate Algebra, which essentially repeats material that students should have learned in high school. Faculty teach the course in a traditional lecture format using common syllabi, department-wide tests, and final exams that they develop collectively. GTAs, who undergo substantial training and supervision, support faculty and students in the course. The most significant academic problem with Intermediate Algebra is poor student performance. Because students enroll in such high numbers, faculty cannot track homework assignments as carefully as needed, due to staffing limitations. Lack of tracking and immediate response also impact student performance. More than 50% of students receive D or F grades, and students often need to repeat the course several times. The scope of this problem can be seen when viewed in terms of student success toward graduation. Students in the 1993 freshman class, for example, had an overall six-year graduation rate of 55%, compared to a 30% rate for students who received a D or F in the course. To address the problem of student performance, faculty initiated a pilot redesign of Intermediate Algebra in 1997. The pilot project emphasized homework problems and quick, frequent feedback loops. The pilot was successful, but it had two main problems: 1) it did not use computer technology to provide feedback and thus was far too labor-intensive, and 2) it did not develop a truly learner-centered experience. It did, though, successfully prove the need to provide similar kinds of repetitive problem solving and quick feedback.

70. Round 2 Grant Awards—RCC Elementary Algebra In the traditional format, Elementary algebra is taught exclusively in didacticlecture Parttime faculty teach half of the sections; there are no teaching http://www.center.rpi.edu/PewGrant/RD2 Award/RCCplan.html

The Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign Riverside Community College The Traditional Course The most significant academic problem is the decreasing student success rate (defined as a grade of C or better), which has deteriorated to below 50% since fall, 1992. Simultaneously, the student repeat rate for the course has increased to at least 30%. Student retention is very poor, with many students simply giving up and dropping out. Two factors compound this problem. 1) Riverside Community College offers open admissions and attracts a significant population of students who need remedial help (e.g., in fall, 1999, only 4% of entering students could do college-level math). 2) Part-time faculty, who traditionally are not as available to students as full-time faculty, are now even less available due to a new calendar structure and a strong local economy. Riverside Community College needs to educate the same number of students, increase their success rate, and decrease the repeat rate while teaching the course with fewer faculty. The Redesigned Course Elementary Algebra will be redesigned as a student-centered course incorporating new teaching strategies, technology, and tutoring to promote active, student-centered, individual and group learning. The learning goals for the redesigned course include the following. Students will:

Home Page Selected Papers Mathematics Undergraduate Mathematics ... Mathematics Education Algebra for All in Eighth Grade: What's the Rush? Lynn Arthur Steen, St. Olaf College Appeared in Middle Matters, the newsletter of the National Association of Elementary School Principals, Vol 8, No. 1, Fall 1999, pp. 1, 6-7. Not so long ago, high school algebra served as an effective filter to separate college-bound students from their work-bound classmates. Then advocates for educational standards began demanding "algebra for all," a significant challenge for a nation accustomed to the notion that only some could learn algebra well. More recently, notably in Californiathe center for start-up educational movementsthis demand escalated to "algebra in eighth grade for all" or what one skeptic described as "algebra before acne." Is algebraespecially early algebrareally that important for all students? How can a subject that for many adults serves as a metaphor for frustration suddenly be the top priority for soccer moms and internet dads? And why do so many parents suddenly demand of their schools and their children something they themselves neither mastered nor loved? One answer is that algebra is, in Robert Moses' apt phrase, "the new civil right" (Moses, 1995). Algebra means access. It unlocks doors to productive careers and democratizes access to big ideas. As an alternative to dead-end courses in general and commercial mathematics, algebra serves as an invaluable engine of equity. The notion that by identifying relationships we can discover things that are unknown"that we can find out what

Home Page Selected Papers Mathematics Undergraduate Mathematics ... Mathematics Education Does Everybody Need to Study Algebra? Lynn Arthur Steen, St. Olaf College In Mathematics Teacher 85:4 (April 1992) 258-260. (An invited "Sound-Off" column in an issue of NCTM's high school journal devoted to the debate about "Algebra for All.") It is a mistake to suppose that requiring the nonmathematical to take more advanced math courses will enhance their understanding and not merely exacerbate their sense of inadequacy. William Raspberry Why teach algebra to those who don't or can't appreciate it... Algebra isn't essential to much of anything... It is useless torture, ... for the few, not the many. Coleman McCarthy Even as members of NCTM rally to implement the Standards, well-known critics such as Washington Post columnists William Raspberry and Coleman McCarthyspeaking from opposite sides of the political houseraise an alarm. How absurd, they say, to require algebra of all students. Ordinary people don't use algebra in their life or work. So let students choose: those who need math should take algebra, those who don't shouldn't have to. Critics argue that algebra is a boring, irrelevant impediment that turns off more students than it helps. Yet the

Beyond Formulas in Mathematics and Teaching: Dynamics of the High School Algebra Classroom Daniel Chazan New York NY : Teachers College Press, 2000 http://teacherscollegepress.com/ In many places Algebra has been taught as a formulaic activity; students are taught to master algorithms to solve classes of problems.  High school algebra teaching can be treated formulaically as well.  We may take for granted that we know the students who study high school mathematics, what school algebra is, and what secondary school classrooms are like.  Recent efforts to reform school mathematics call much of this into question.  Teachers are supposed to teach all students algebra. The very nature of the algebra curriculum is in flux.  And, students are to learn mathematics as a problem solving activity that involves discussion. Beyond Formulas in Mathematics and Teaching: Dynamics of the High School Algebra Classroom invites readers into a high school mathematics classroom, but from the point of view of the teacher rather than the student, focusing on relationships between teacher, student, and subject matter.  Daniel Chazan, a mathematics teacher educator from Michigan State University , and co-teacher Sandra Callis Bethell, then of Holt High School , taught Algebra One to students who were both struggling in mathematics, and had a poor academic record overall.  The book chronicles Chazan’s attempts to understand the role of teacher in such a high school mathematics classroom.

80. TEXAS ADOPTS TEXTBOOK REJECTED BY NATION NCTM algebra standards are being used as the basis of a national movement spearheadedby the US Department of Education to teach all students algebra by eighth http://www.tppf.org/education/news/rain.htm

TEXAS ADOPTS TEXTBOOK REJECTED BY NATION November 1997 Chris Patterson Director of Education Policy th , the Texas State Board of Education authorized school districts to purchase a textbook with state monies that has been ridiculed from coast to coast in the national news media, denounced in the United States Congressional Record, and blamed for abysmal math scores in California. How could this happen? "RAINFOREST ALGEBRA - NATIONAL CONTROVERSY" Focus on Algebra, An Integrated Approach, published by Scott Foresman Addison Wesley, has been dubbed "Rainforest Algebra" around the nation. Criticism of "Rainforest" has appeared in such publications as the Wall Street Journal Time Magazine U.S. News and World Report and Education Week . Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.VA) took to the Senate floor this past summer to express his concern about America’s obsession with "wacky math" as exemplified by "Rainforest Algebra." The problem with "Rainforest" can be simply deduced from the headlines it has generated, including "Everything But Algebra," "MTV Math Doesn’t Add Up," "That So-called Pythagorus," "New Math is Creating Dummies," and "This is Math?" Although "Rainforest" has appealing artwork, tempting chili recipes, exhilarating poetry, piercing political insights on environmental issues and fascinating myths of baffling African astronomy fabricated by European anthropologists, this textbook contains little algebra. Not only is algebra scant, but the very first page of the text advises students that creative thinking and teamwork are more important skills than calculation and computation. No algebra expression can be found in the book until page 107.
