Professor Darryl Yong (HMC) and Emeritus Professor Robert Borrelli (HMC) awarded NSF/DUE grant
Professor Darryl Yong and Emeritus Professor Robert Borrelli awarded NSF grant of $499,792 to support the project entitled “Online Resources to Improve the Teaching and Learning of Differential Equations: Encouraging the Wide-Spread Use of Modeling and Computing.”
The aim of this project is to improve the teaching and learning of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by facilitating the development, dissemination and wide-spread adoption of modeling projects and computer experiments. By encouraging the wide-spread adoption of innovations in the teaching and learning of ODEs, Yong and Borrelli seek to affect the training of a great number of future scientists, not just mathematicians. Every student at HMC must take the equivalent of a full-semester course in ordinary differential equations, regardless of their major.
