Instructor of Record
A Survey of Mathematics
Course Description Taught at the University of New Mexico under the course code Math 1130. The introductory undergraduate mathematics course is designed for non-STEM majors, emphasizing conceptual understanding via real-world applications, theories, and methods. ​​​​​
Syllabus Highlights Semesters: Fall 2024, Spring 2025, Summer 2025 Textbook: "Math in Society" by David Lippman. Topics: Graph Theory, Elementary Growth Models, Statistics and Probability, and a mathematical topic of the instructor's choosing. Number of Students: Approximately 30 students per semester.
Full Syllabus
Mathematical Art Integration Since instructors can choose their mathematical topic for Unit 4, I choose Mathematical Art. Due to the novelty of the choice, I had to design the curriculum and refine it over subsequent semesters. The two hallmarks of the Mathematical Art Unit were the Mathematical Art Presentation and the visit to the UNM Art Museum. (See Bellow)
