Discovering the Art of Mathematics: A Library of Inquiry Based Learning Guides for Mathematics for Liberal Arts

学科：数学科学(21)“发现数学的艺术”正在开发、评估和分发一个由十个基于探究的学习指南和补充教师资源组成的图书馆，这些资源主要用于大学水平的文科数学课程。这些课程材料提供令人信服的、高质量的、以学生为中心的资源，支持个人学习风格的连续不断；具有具有智力挑战的引人入胜的内容；并培养对文科传统中数学主题的深入探索。这十卷的主题是模式；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；以及推理、真理、逻辑和确定性。这个项目促进了广泛的有意义的、积极的、认知的、元认知的和情感的学生学习，并正在并将继续通过形成性和终结性评估进行评估。一个顾问委员会，包括全国知名的数学家，正在对十卷中的每一卷进行审查、Beta测试并提供反馈。整个图书馆正在通过网站、研讨会、演示文稿和出版物广泛分发。该项目提供了一个设计良好、智力健全的文科课程，这是对文科课程数学的量化识字和应用课程的有益补充。

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.
