Join the Mathematics Department for the 35th Annual Ostrom Lecture with our guest Kathleen Heid professor of Mathematics Education at Penn State University. The lecture will be held on March 23 at 7 p.m. in CUE 203 with a reception immediately following in CUE 518.

Abstract: Everybody has opinions about mathematics and how it is learned. What are some of the myths about how mathematics is learned? How do people understand–and misunderstand mathematics? What are some of the theories that explain how mathematics is learned? This session will discuss some of the research in mathematics education that has uncovered ways that people understand and misunderstand mathematics.
