Wanted: Students for MCTP
This is a project-oriented course offering the opportunity to discover how a variety of real-world problems can be described and analyzed with the aid of simple mathematical models and computer simulations. Possible project topics include: operation of a fuse, spread of pollutants in a river, propagation of an infectious disease, traffic flow on a highway, oscillating chemical reactions, etc. Specific selection of problems will depend on the background and interests of students enrolled in the course. Students seeking elementary teacher certification or secondary certification in science or math are particularly welcome. The course incorporates constructivist principles and has been designated as an MCTP course for students in the Maryland Collaborative for Teacher Preparation program. Prerequisite: MATH 225
