Mathematics as a way of life. The Week Evil Won. Welcome, Welcome, Aspiring Students! 17 April, 2014. Dear Prospective Student,. Plenty of classes can be “customer service” oriented. Plenty of professors might give out “A’s for effort” like so much candy. Our class is different. We will explore beautiful thoughts and rational insight. It will be challenging, difficult, and eminently worth it. This class may be the hardest thing you ever do, but. I know you can do it. Matt Wiley, MBA, MS. The Week Evil Won.

Mathematics as a way of life. The Week Evil Won. 11 March, 2014. As I briefly ponder a stats learning question in my mind, a darker shadow obscures my preternatural vision. A sign of evil already here. A cold wind from a fell place that never should have been. “I wish none of … Continue reading →. Don’t like America’s educational performance? Thank a teacher.

Mathematics as a way of life. End of Spring 2013 (or “I really hope my grandmother never reads this”). This isn’t your (great great great grand)father’s Industrial Revolution →. I intend to teach my students how to ignore things. 22 August, 2013. It is a canonical educational complaint: Our students do not pay attention. Another complaint I’m guilty of myself at least once a term is somehow things were much better back in my day. We live in a new epoch Data Overload. I could send my students to half a do...

Mathematics as a way of life. Fire, and lots of it…. Assessing Higher Value →. Where have all the cowboys gone? 8 February, 2013. How does one explain the end of an era? My watching of “Pan Am” is bringing back half-formed memories of when I flew as a lad. I remember getting toys, pilot wings, and even getting to sit in the front with the pilots on long flights till I was six or so. We’re too focused on future careers to enjoy the moment of discovering our own personal genius. We lost the visio...8220;It...

This isn’t your (great great great grand)father’s Industrial Revolution. 22 September, 2013. But at its heart I think we’ve got a fundamental flaw in our model or philosophy of how to make education work. The model worked well enough for a hundred years or so – and that’s what is so insidious about it! The problem comes about when well meaning leg...
