| Abstract | In this article, the author reports on a seminar for first-year college students that weaves mathematical proof and problem-solving together with discussions of cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic issues surrounding mathematics. The author's goal is for students to learn some mathematics, and--just as important--to think about the nature of mathematics, its significance as a vibrant intellectual discipline, and the culture of its practitioners, and also to confront a variety of "affect issues." The author wants to expose students to some of the ideas and issues that she found compelling when she was a student and that helped draw her into mathematics. Whether students pursue the study of mathematics or not, she wants them to choose to do so with an accurate appreciation of the subject. (Contains 1 figure.) (ERIC). |
