Rate My Professor

By Shriya V. Nagpal I had just finished introducing sequences, and the students were working on a practice problem before I presented it on the board. As I did most days, I walked around the classroom, checking in on their understanding. The students were distracted — registration for next semester had opened that morning for...

There and Back Again: A Tale Of Chatbots and Climate

By Lew Ludwig May has felt like a whirlwind of workshops and webinars on AI in education, including the MAA OPEN Math series and an online short course for the Ohio MAA. It was great connecting with colleagues who actually understood my well-worn jokes about extroverted mathematicians staring at their own shoes. Amidst the flurry...

Political Geometry: Rethinking Redistricting in the US with Math, Law, and Everything In Between

The subtitle, “Rethinking Redistricting in the US with Math, Law, and Everything in Between”, describes this book pretty well. Several authors provide essays identifying the complex elements of redistricting and gerrymandering contributing to a problem that is difficult in so many ways. The book was first conceived as the proceedings of a conference of the...

Inverse Problems and Data Assimilation

Inverse problems and the associated questions of data assimilation are of considerable interest in our data-intensive world. This book offers a concise introduction to these subjects from a mathematical perspective. The authors suggest it is most appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics as well as researchers in the sciences and engineering interested...
