Approximately ninety seconds after the end of the Brown Bag was the start of the Great Victoria Exodus. Each of us picked up ideas, notions and tidbits of varying degrees of applicability, which we swapped around during sundry meals and ferry rides. More to the point, though, we had a chance to be part of a different mathematical world, from which students emerge into our august portals, and in which there is a lot of lively mathematical and pedagogical activity going on. It may prove a little tricky working hubcap patterns or the symmetries of a quilting block into a calculus course, but issues of engaging students' minds and encouraging student creativity start with the very young and never end. Mathematicians are 1-dimensional.
Theorems come ready-made.
Mathematicians never make mistakes. Math teachers solve every problem perfectly. Mathematics is for boys.
