Fall Courses
Apr. 1st, 2018 10:47 amThis fall I'm scheduled to teach three courses, one from each of the great branches of mathematics: algebra (Introduction to Algebraic Structures), geometry (Foundations for Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry), and analysis (Real Analysis I). This is the first time, I think, that I've been assigned that range.
I just looked up the enrollments for those courses. The first two are safe: they have fifteen and thirteen students signed up, respectively. Most of the students are in my history of math course this semester; the sequence of courses for the Math Ed track, which most of them are on, is fairly rigid. The third one may be in trouble. Only four students have signed up so far, and we'll need ten. It's still early in the undergraduate registration cycle, though, and the course is also taken by some graduate students, who tend to register late. Still, it makes me a little nervous.
We shall see.
