MathEd Forum: September 28, 2019
Book Club: King of Infinite Space and Weapons of Math Destruction
Description
From revolutionary Geometry to terrifying Data Science, mathematics education has many issues with which to grapple. What are the societal impacts of mathematics and algorithms? What is the place of truth and beauty in education? These questions affect the problems that students work on from K to 12 to PhD. Join us as we use two pieces of popular non-fiction to examine ideas that have been at the center of debates at the MathEd Forum since its inception.
Please find the reports and agenda for this meeting here.
