Some false impressions manage to be even falser than others.
It seems to me that a natural conclusion from the fact that no newsletters have been forthcoming over the past month is that nothing interesting has been going on. Definite echoes of David Clarke's colloquium on teacher telling. Moving back by just epsilon from the beginning of the trip we get to Thursday's Brown Bag. We had a special colloquium by Sandy Cooper and Tom LoFaro of WSU, who have been doing neat things in their calculus course. I nabbed one of their hand-outs, with a batch of information about course goals and tactics, which I can copy for anyone that is interested.
