Communicating Mathematics
Lecture
Main Campus
Course Description
This class covers the fundamentals of mathematical communication, including how to write clear technical exposition, give effective talks, and reach audiences outside the field. Assigned readings and class discussions address the role of mathematics in society and the impact of generative AI on its practice. The course culminates in an individual project, developed iteratively over four weeks, in which each student produces an original piece of mathematical communication that demonstrates both depth of understanding and thoughtful engagement with modern tools. Open only to math majors, this class assumes enough background so that students can focus on their communication skills rather than on new mathematical content.
