TED University Center for Teaching and Learning is inviting our academicians to the seminar entitled "Why Do We Teach Calculus? What and How We Should Teach?" by Assist.Prof.Dr. İnan Utku Türkmen and Assist.Prof.Dr. Ayşe Mutlu Derya.
Abstract:
The aim of this talk to start a discussion on content and delivery of Calculus courses at TEDU which (we hope) will lead to a curriculum reform study for all math courses taught at TEDU next. We will compare Calculus curriculums of different universities with TEDU's, and share our experience on different approaches and methods used in Calculus teaching.
