Preface:

This seminar drew on ideas of mathematical visualiza-tion developed in Prof. Ghrist’s Calculus Blue series of online videos, as well as his most recent research and teaching. It encouraged teachers to think about how to draw and animate mathematics at a variety of levels, joining numbers and art. It helped teachers to break complex problems into simpler ones and identify questions students might to ask in order to get to the core of an idea. It also pointed to connections between mathematical abstractions and appli-cations, including statistics, engineering and computing. The course spured teachers to develop a fun and engaging ap-proach to the math they teach in their own classroom.
