Do students understand basic quantitative
information? Do they apply an understanding of mathematical principles to
situations and problems (of all types, in all courses, at all levels)? Can
professors make a difference through their classes?
The topic of the Provost's Speaker Series 2008 is
"Quantitative Reasoning" (QR), one of WSU's Six Learning Goals of the
Baccalaureate. Series guest speaker and QR expert Caren L. Diefenderfer will
present a keynote address on the topic of "Making Numbers Count" at 10 a.m.
Friday, April 11 in Smith CUE 203.
A math professor at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia,
for 30 years, Dr. Diefenderfer was instrumental in bringing QR to her college
early this decade with funding from a National Science Foundation grant. She
also served as chair of a special interest group for quantitative literacy of
the Mathematics Association of America (SIGMAA QL) and has been involved in
several NSF grants that deal with QR. |
