Janoah Hartmann, a mathematics undergraduate at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, has been awarded the Credit Suisse Award for Best Teaching👏Alongside his bachelor’s studies, he works as a teaching assistant in the course Mathematics II for Natural Sciences. Preparing the tutorials is demanding, he says, but: «You get a lot back, and the boost is huge when you teach successfully.» Congratulations!

Whats wrong with this picture!
I had to check this multiple times as I couldnt believe it first time.

New account, new introduction!
I'm Beth. I'm a queer mathematician who loves musical theater, webcomics, teaching math, and my cat.
Favorite areas of math: Topology, geometry, and combinatorics.
Favorite musicals: Chess, Into the Woods, Next to Normal, Sunday in the Park With George, Sweeney Todd
Favorite webcomics: this is long enough to get its own post:

I gave an excellent #math lesson this week that details the relationship between exponential growth and #economics and #power structures.
The basic idea can be summed up with some #desmos graphs:
The income of a working person who starts at $40000 a year and gets regular yearly raises of $1000 can be shown on the red line.
The income from a million-dollar investment at 4% per year compounded annually is given on the blue line. They both appear linear and similar. #teachingmath #algebra
If I had a dollar for every student in this class who multiplied by 95 to get 95% of the quantity, I'd have 1000% Dollars
Teachers Ask Better Questions With Feedback That’s Frequent, Personal, and AI-Generated, Study Shows https://www.edweek.org/technology/teachers-ask-better-questions-with-feedback-thats-frequent-personal-and-ai-generated-new-research-shows/2023/12 #AI #TeachingMath #TeachingScience
@dandersod Another thought about completing the square: It is helpful to know explicitly the following variant of the binomial formula,
\[ x^2 + a x + \tfrac14 a^2 = (x + \tfrac12 a)^2, \]
because it shows more clearly which number is needed when completing the square.
What's the single most important skill for a teacher to master? I claim it's the ability to remember what it was like to not yet understand the material you're presenting.

I’ve bren here for a couple of weeks. I like the positive vibes so I think I’ll stay. Besides what it says in my profile, I’m interested in #ancientaliens #spirituality #teachingmath to elementary students #cozymysteryseries and other fiction. I’ve recently started to reduce consumption of meat. I’m not completely #vegetarian yet, but am on my way. Please share #recipes with minimally processed ingredients. That’s another change I’d like to make to my diet this year.
@MattHodges published 3 essays out of 6 planned essays on #asoiaf and in particular the Night’s King, corpse queen, Long Night, etc… (literary analysis). Had to put draft for the 4th aside to rewrite a math course on solid geometry (analytical), create a “peer review the maths of physics lab reports” project and held a self created “holiday atmosphere casino” workshop for statistics & combination #math #TeachingMath
My 8 y.o. was learning about probability at school and his teacher was getting the students to come up with examples of 0 chance/impossible.
"What example did you give?"
"Oh, I said that there is 0 chance of a volcano erupting potato gems...."

@janicenovakowski Hey Janice ... welcome!
A hint to get started ... free text search doesn't work, so it's worth using HashTags so people can find you and your posts. It's a kind of #SemanticSearch.
