Exploratory Classroom Problems in Calculus
Org: Peter Taylor (Queen's)
The session will be run less formally this year, rather than a sequence of programmed speakers, in a more interactive,
discussion-oriented way. Problems will be presented and discussed and perhaps revised, related to other work, etc. An
article in the November 04 CMS Notes (page 12) sets the theme for the session. The main thrust is expected to be towards
the large-lecture service courses. Our objective is to affirm the creative and "human" element in the course. Problems
should be beautiful, powerful and sophisticated (as are we as humans!). In some ways such problems will therefore be
somewhat beyond the technical and conceptual capability of the student and thus they represent a real stretch. Most
importantly they must be discussion oriented. We want students to put forward conjectures, to try things out, to share
insights with a partner or with the class as a whole. And at the end of the class, or the week, though they won't have,
and perhaps never will, fully come to grips with the problem, they might well have glimpsed eternity. At the same time, of
course, there will be technical skills to be mastered- concepts and techniques must go hand in hand. The sessions will
run on Saturday June 4th from 10:15 AM to 12:15 PM and again from 4:00 to 5:30 PM, and will be chaired by Peter Taylor.
Participants and spectators are invited. Those interested in contributing a problem, or making a short presentation (5-10
minutes), should contact Peter Taylor at taylorp@post.queensu.ca.
