Basic Plan
Below is the tentative schedule for our course. We will use Slack to make additions and changes to the schedule.
- Each person signs up to work on two chapters.
- All chapters have a maximum of three people; some have a maximum of 2.
- We do not cover chapter 5 in JTG. Instead, an intrepid group will find some worthy non-western mathematics for us to explore. It counts for you as a “chapter” though.
- Each person should choose one early chapter (2-6) and one late chapter (7-11).
- Pairs sign up for short (25 min.) teaching sessions, two sessions per “Show and Tell” day.
- Each pair will find a topic to share with us. Topics can be mathematical, historical, from literature, etc. but each must have significant connections to math.
Tuesday Class – Group presentation of the main theorem and other material from/related to a chapter of JTG.
Thursday Class – General Discussion of the material/context from a chapter of JTG, have read any other readings indicated for the day, discussed topics online, etc.
Sunday by 11PM – Turn in your reading assignment and any homework that is due.
Note: A few group presentations are on Thursdays. You should regularly check our detailed schedule in G. Drive and Slack to make sure you’re on the same page as everyone else.
