After teaching what I believe to be the highest-numbered MATH class in the catalogue (MATH 4671 Probability and Graphs - a.k.a. Random Graphs - a quite difficult class), next year 2024-2025 I would like to take at step towards the other end of the spectrum, and teach Mathematics for Liberal Arts (MATH 1201).
It will be a challenge.
I want to get into the mindset of a poet, and I want to make said poet feel a friendly spirit in the abstract realm. That would be difficult indeed.
For that I need a guiding theme, a guiding spirit - and I found it: the poetry of recursion.
