SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium Series
LOCATION:Mathematics Building D 218\, 850 Polytechnic Lane\, Marietta\, GA
  30060
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Victor Donnay\, Bryn Mawr College\nTitle: Incorpo
 rating Sustainability Topics into Math Courses”\n\nAbstract: For the past
  15 years\, Professor Donnay has taught a course called Math Modeling and
  Sustainability in which students learn how to use mathematics to analyze
  issues of sustainability. This course has a community-based learning com
 ponent in which teams of students work with community partners to analyze
  a problem of interest to the partner. In this talk\, Donnay will outline
  a range of options for including sustainability topics in math courses: 
 (i) adding a sustainability focused unit that illustrates a standard topi
 c in an existing course\; (ii) using sustainability as the theme for an e
 ntire course on math modeling\; and (iii) having a community-based projec
 t component in which students apply their knowledge to address an authent
 ic problem of relevance to their university or local community.\nNo previ
 ous knowledge is assumed. All are welcome.\n\nThe KSU Mathematics Colloqu
 ium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universitie
 s to present results on all areas of mathematics. The talks are targeted 
 at general audiences of students and professors. Faculty and students are
  welcome to the Department of Mathematics for tea before the lecture from
  2:00 to 2:30 pm.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/552f00a8-f5e7-46ac-80c5-
