Discipline: Mathematical Sciences (21)"Discovering the Art of Mathematics" is developing, evaluating and distributing a library of ten inquiry-based learning guides and supplemental teacher resources primarily for college-level Mathematics for Liberal Arts courses. These curriculum materials provide compelling, high-quality, student-centered resources that support a continuum of individual learning styles; have engaging content that is intellectually challenging; and nurture in-depth explorations of mathematical topics in the liberal arts tradition. The topics for the ten volumes are patterns; the infinite; number theory; knot theory; music; geometry; calculus; games and puzzles; art and sculpture; and reasoning, truth, logic, and certainty. This project promotes a broad range of meaningful, positive, cognitive, meta-cognitive, and affective student gains and is being and will continue to be assessed through both formative and summative evaluations. An advisory board, including nationally known mathematicians, is reviewing, beta testing, and providing feedback on each of the ten volumes.The full library is being widely distributed through a website, workshops, presentations, and publication. This project provides a well-designed and intellectually sound liberal arts curriculum which is a healthy complement to quantitative literacy and applications curricula for Mathematics for Liberal Arts courses.

专业：数学科学（21）“发现数学的艺术”正在开发，评估和分发一个图书馆的10个基于探究的学习指南和补充教师资源，主要是为大学水平的数学文科课程。 这些课程材料提供了令人信服的，高质量的，以学生为中心的资源，支持个人学习风格的连续性;具有智力挑战性的引人入胜的内容;并培养对文科传统中数学主题的深入探索。 十卷的主题是模式;无限;数论;纽结理论;音乐;几何;微积分;游戏和谜题;艺术和雕塑;推理，真理，逻辑和确定性。该项目促进了广泛的有意义的，积极的，认知，元认知和情感的学生收益，并正在并将继续通过形成性和总结性评价进行评估。 一个由全国知名数学家组成的顾问委员会正在对这十卷书进行审查、beta测试和反馈。整个图书馆正在通过网站、研讨会、演示和出版物广泛分发。 这个项目提供了一个精心设计和智力健全的文科课程，这是一个健康的补充，定量识字和应用课程的文科数学课程。
