What's Been Happening to Undergraduate Mathematics
Hi-Res PDFAbstract
This is an overview of some of the changes that have been occurring in undergraduate mathematics education. It is based on a talk given at a workshop held by the Mathematical Association of America to determine what chemists expect their students to learn from supporting undergraduate mathematics courses in terms of understanding, content, and use of technology.
