SUBJECT: Linear Algebra Education Seminar - Nov. 2, 2021
The ILAS Education Committee (ILAS-ED) is hosting a Linear Algebra Education Seminar. We meet virtually on the first Tuesday of every month at 8am Pacific Time. Normally, each event will feature a 45-minute presentation followed by a social half-hour where participants can ask the speaker(s) questions and visit with other participants. Join us for the opportunity to network and discuss best practices for teaching linear algebra. To suggest a speaker or request a topic, or for more information, please email Judi McDonald at JudiJMcDonald@gmail.com
Our inaugural speaker was Guershon Harel, who spoke On the Complexity of "Simple" Linear-Algebraic Concepts. Our second talk was given by David Plaxco, who discussed joint work with Christine Andrews-Larson, Megan Wawro, and Michelle Zandieh on Current Work in the Inquiry-Oriented Linear Algebra (IOLA) Project. You can view the recordings or download the slides at the ILAS-ED seminar page: https://la-education.oucreate.com/monthly-seminar/
Our next seminar is designed to give attendees the opportunity to discuss graduate education. Leslie Hogben, the Iowa State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences associate dean for graduate studies and faculty development, will lead the discussion for the first half hour, highlighting strategies for mentoring graduate students in linear algebra. Maria Trigueros will lead the second half of our seminar. Professor Trigueros works at the Mathematics Department, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and will discuss mentoring graduate students in the teaching and learning of linear algebra.
