Has math instruction actually changed in the last 40 years?: I started my last two master's classes last night (!!). Since the classes consist largely of teachers, we usually end up having some pretty interesting discussions about teaching approaches to translating the master's-level content to secondary education. The first professor of the evening (analytic geometry, although...; Tags: Geometry, Professor, Math, Student, Teacher, Productivity, Christopher Dawson; Blog posts 2008-04-30
When all the technology in the world won't help: When all the technology in the world won't helpSmall Town BudgetsThe facts are most small town school systems will continue to teach non-technically. I'm a product of one small public high school two-hours from DC that couldn't afford a Calculus teacher. Solution? They gave us a telephone...; Tags: PRODUCTIVITY, computer, geometry; Discussion threads 2008-04-10
When all the technology in the world won't help: A masters thesis fell into my lap earlier this year when I switched second semester classes and taught another section of informal geometry. I decided to look at the section I taught in the first semester with an inclusion teacher versus the section I was teaching second semester. ...; Tags: Geometry, Teacher, Microsoft Excel, Productivity, Microsoft Office, Office Suites, Software, Christopher Dawson; Blog posts 2008-04-10

Server Policies for Interactive Transmission of 3D Scenes: This paper considers an interactive client-server application for remote browsing of 3D scenes. The information about texture and geometry is available at server side in the form of scalably compressed images and depthmaps, corresponding to a multitude of original image views. Image and depth components are both open to augmentation...; Tags: Geometry, 3D, Client-server, University Of New South Wales, Servers, Hardware; White papers 2006-06-30
Interfacing Visual Basic and Mathematica to Create an Application for Hyperbolic Geometry: This paper describes how one can use technology to provide students with graphical representations and animations as they study certain ideas and well-studied objects of hyperbolic geometry, which have application to web-based data structures. These objects and ideas include the Poincare disk model, distances, midpoints, angles, hyperbolic triangles, reflections about...; Tags: Geometry, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Development Tools, Programming Languages, Development Tools, Software Development, Software/Web Development; White papers 2005-10-26

Hardcore math at the speed of the Net: From its inception, the Internet has been about connecting researchers and research institutions to each other (and, of course, about national defense). As the Web continues to explode, though, it's interesting to see how new generations of researchers work, collaborate, and criticize online. A particular example...; Tags: Proof, Mathematician, Li, Web 2.0, Wiki, Blogging, Channel Management, Internet, Online Communications, Marketing, Christopher Dawson; Blog posts 2008-07-07
Diamond Viper Radeon HD 4850: As a standalone 3D graphics card, and depending on the game, AMD's new $199 ATI Radeon HD 4850 is very competitive with Nvidia's $229 GeForce 9800 GTX+. What's potentially more exciting is that the 4850 also seems to scale better in dual-card Crossfire mode than anything Nvidia has for the...; Tags: Processors, Right Now IT, Radeon HD 4850, Radeon HD, Radeon, card, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.; Product reviews 2008-06-24
