An initiative of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Stevens Institute of Technology, the third annual Reimagining Math Education conference is bringing together leading experts to help instructors teach math more effectively, and to reimagine what math education at both the high school and college level can be.
Nearly 400 students came to Stevens to test their problem-solving skills at the 2018 Math Olympiad. All of them walked away encouraged and inspired.
Imagine you have a spy network: the spies are all connected, and in order to figure out where they all are you can either interrogate one spy and hope they give you all their contacts... or, you can use domination theory to figure out exactly where they are. The latter option is what students Alicia Muth and Alexis Doucette are doing--and earning recognition…
Stevens announces that professor Darinka Dentcheva will lead the Department of Mathematical Sciences as chair, effective July 1, 2018.
"I enjoy being a student at Stevens!" says Ph.D. student Denis Ovchinnikov. "The best part is the availability of endless opportunities for research, inside Stevens itself as well as with nearby schools like CUNY, Rutgers and Princeton."
Undergraduate student Kenneth Rexer wants to be a math professor. That's why he's working on problems like this one involving graph theory in his free time.
At Stevens, we do calculus differently. Students learn not only through lectures, but through team problem-solving sessions, self-study projects, innovative learning software, small class sizes and flexible schedules.
