Session VI (1:45–2:30 p.m.)
The formulation of fundamental natural laws and of technological problems in the form of rigorous mathematical models is given frequently, even prevalently, in terms of nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. This presentation is based on research projects that I published with undergraduate students over the last few years in various mathematical, physical, biological and engineering international refereed journals, and represents a unique blend of the traditional analytical and numerical methods enriched by the applications of Lie Group Analysis and applied to engineering, environmental, biological, ocean and atmospheric sciences.
The book Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman is packed full of small and large changes one can make to their courses so that assessments and scoring are more equitable. In this session, the equitable grading practices I’ll discuss are: rubrics, retakes, due dates, oral quizzes, outcomes and zeros. I’ll share what worked for me and what didn’t work as well as I expected.
ABCD’s of Calculus I: Areas of circular sectors by Arithmetic-Geometric Means prepare for trig and integrals.; Bisection to solve equations introduces upper and lower bounds to prepare for limits; Caratheodory derivatives prepare for derivatives; Death by Bad Ideas? Hopefully for each participant there will be something (watch order of quantifiers).

Participants will have an opportunity to learn as a mathematician in an equitable environment. Learners thrive through mathematics that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible in a safe space. This session will provide you with an opportunity to engage in productive struggle, experience mathematics, and reflect on the strategies used to support you as a learner.
