Math Institute Benefits Students, Teachers
Both college and high school teachers and high school students are benefiting from a summer mathematics institute at the University.
The institute, which began June 9 and will end Saturday includes 75 teachers, 28 high school seniors and 30 high school freshmen. It is one of 108 mathematics and science institutes sponsored by the National Science Foundation at colleges and universities throughout the nation. Only four are open to both college and high school teachers.
"The KU institute has four objectives," Dr. G. Baley Price, professor of mathematics and institute director, said. "They are to improve the subject matter competence of the teachers, to strengthen their capacity for motivating able students to consider science careers, to bring them into contact with prominent scientists
on the institute staff, and to effect greater understanding of teaching problems at high school and college levels.
The National Science Foundation provides financial support for about half of the teachers and for all of the senior demonstration group, which is affiliated with the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
Members of the senior demonstration group come from 14 states and the District of Columbia. The freshman group is made up of Lawrence students.
Four courses are held an hour five days a week. They are "Topics in High School Mathematics," "Elementary Statistics," "Topics in Freshman College Mathematics" and "Introduction to Abstract Algebra."
The freshman class is taught in the "Topics in High School Mathematics" course. Students in the senior class are taught the statistics course and a course entitled "Introduction of a Postulational System for Euclidean Geometry."
Members of the staff in addition to Dr. Price are Max Beberman, associate professor of education, University of Illinois; Russell Bradt, assistant professor of mathematics; William Hale, assistant director of the Illinois University committee on school mathematics: Gertrude Hendrix, teacher coordinator, UICSM; William Scott, associate professor of mathematics; George Springer, professor of mathematics, and Frances Lee Wolfe, mathematics instructor and assistant institute director.
