"How My Philosophy of Mathematics Affects My Teaching"

MAA MathFest, POMSIGMAA session
August 7-10, 2024 in Indianapolis, IN
Deadline for abstracts: April 15, 2024

To submit an abstract, you can use the link: "Submit an Abstract" or go to the MAA MathFest main page.

Session description:

One’s philosophy of mathematics can affect their approach to a particular subject matter, their attitude toward group work, and many other aspects of teaching. Some of these issues have been with us for generations. Others are relatively new, such as the recent discussions of the effects of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on student work. This session invites talks on any aspect of the interaction between issues in the philosophy of mathematics and the teaching of mathematics, including but not limited to emerging issues like the impact of AI on the teaching and learning of mathematics. Other topics in the philosophy of mathematics are welcome as time permits.
