Possible Fun One-Shot Zoom Topics
Designed to be fun, and to fit in your hectic schedules, here are some possible topics that could surface at AME in the near future. All of these would be short (30-40 minutes), with time for questions.
Interesting & Weird Mathematicians – And Stories About Them! A standing ovation for a talk where no words were spoken?! The ultimate interesting and WEIRD mathematician! What there is no Nobel Prize in math. Napier’s psychic rooster?! And many, many more!! Likely a Part 1 and a Part 2 (at least?)
Lewis & Clark on the Missouri River A quick summary – with pictures of the places – of some of the Corp of Discovery’s adventures (good and bad) on the Missouri River part of their 3-year journey.
Spitballs From the Back Row A collection of stories and anecdotes from in/near the classroom (including some of my own mishaps!), with some brief discussion of how we can learn from them. Likely a Part 1 and a Part 2.
Brief ‘Snapshot Travelogues’ If you like the Photo of the Week in the Mailings, you should like this adventure. We’ll focus on a country, OR a region of the US, or a similar attribute, and focus there for awhile. Likely a dozen or more possibilities here!
And others are on the ‘drawing board’ at this very moment!
I’d LOVE to hear if anything above ‘grabs you’, as well as any preferences, suggestions (day of week, time of day, other topics?). EITHER leave a COMMENT below, or use the CONTACT FORM ,or simply REPLY to the Mailing. Input always appreciated!
