Mathematical Sciences and Their Application Throughout the Curriculum: Final Report

By: Naida Tushnet, Mary Ann Millsap, Jeanne Elliot, Beth Gamse, Marc Moss, Sheila Rosenblum

A must-read for mathematics faculty members and deans of undergraduate education, this final report summarizes the findings of seven National Science Foundation-funded projects expected to serve as national models for undergraduate mathematics reform. The report concludes that most of these projects improved undergraduate student understanding of mathematics by integrating the subject matter into other disciplines and incorporating other disciplinary perspectives into mathematics teaching.
