173- Mathematical Expeditions in Polar Science

Friday, October 31, 2014: 8:00 AM-9:15 AM
Grand Ballroom 3 (Westin) (Westin)
Lead Speaker:
Lynn Foshee Reed


There are multidisciplinary challenges facing our planet, and polar science provides particularly interesting contexts to engage students. We will examine three mathematics lessons based on the shrinking extent of Arctic sea ice, melting glaciers, and accurately measuring Weddell seals. Mathematical modeling and data representation are unifying themes.
