It’s all about the students, declare Professors of Applied Mathematics Susan Dean and Barbara Illowsky. Their journey into the world of distance learning began with students learning in televisions’ glow as they absorbed the intricacies of a class often referred to as “Sadistics.”

Geometry for the artistic type

For students leaning toward the fine arts and architecture industries, why not teach Geometry according to their interests?

From the site:  Welcome to Geometry in Art & Architecture. We'll be taking a long journey together, starting in Egypt, like the travellers in this picture. There, the story goes, geometry got its start when rope stretchers were sent out to put back the boundary markers washed away by the Nile.

In addition to looking at art and architecture, we'll cover any mathematics-related topics as we go along.
