Using Projects in the Mathematics Classroom to Enhance Instruction and Incorporate History of Mathematics Paper Presented at the NCTM 77th Annual Meeting San Francisco, California April 22, 1999 Dawn Leigh Anderson University of Georgia Students should have numerous and varied experiences related to the cultural, historical, and scientific evolution of mathematics so that they can appreciate the role of mathematics in the development of our contemporary society and explore relationships among mathematics and the disciplines it serves: the physical and the life sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities ( Standards , 1989, p. 5). Learning to communicate mathematically Integrating projects into the mathematics curriculum gives students opportunities to read, write, and discuss ideas. The very act of communicating mathematics forces students to engage in "doing" mathematics. Guidelines for Developing a Mathematics Project WHO STUDENT, TEACHER, PARENT Role of the STUDENT Select a topic of interest Research the topic in depth Prepare and organize the written report and project Demonstrate the project (orally) SHOW NOT TELL Role of the TEACHER Provide enthusiasm so students will want to do the project Have available selection of ideas, suggestions, and references

I intend to briefly discuss two of her favourite topics (Gersogorin's disc theorem and Lyapunov's stability theorem), and then move onto my primary subject, the so-called "Taussky Unification Problem.'' I will state the problem, its motivation, and close with some recent work on this very important problem.

GRADUATE STUDIES - AIM HIGH: A Letter to Mathematics Majors from Dr. C. F. Stephens, Chairman Department of Mathematics, State University College of Arts and Sciences February 26, 1981 ACADEMIC ADVISING - MATHEMATICS MAJORS I. Introduction In our advising pamphlet "WHY GRADUATE MATHEMATICS?", which was written by Dr. Vasily Cateforis of our mathematics faculty, you are advised to consider graduate studies and urged to aim high. The primary purpose of our mathematics program is not the preparation of students for graduate studies, but it is one of our purposes. We do hope that you will consider as one of the major purposes of an undergraduate liberal arts education the development of your ability to seek out the truth and to recognize the truth when you have found it. In addition, we hope you have been inspired to enjoy that life of the mind in which the pursuit of knowledge and understanding is its own justification and its own reward. Your chance of becoming all you are capable of being depends on your opportunity to work and to study in a favorable learning environment as well as on your intellectual ability, motivation, high expectations and perseverance. Some information about academic environments which scholars consider favorable for mathematical research should be helpful to you. The recent publication "A Community of Scholars, The Institute for Advanced Study, Faculty and Members, 1930-1980" contains some useful information on this subject. A copy of this publication is in our mathematics reading room, which is opposite our mathematics coffee room.

Hanlon Ph.D. California Institute of Technology Hanlon’s Advisor: Olga Taussky-Todd Ph.D. University of Vienna Olga Taussky-Todd was a distinguished and prolific mathematician who wrote about 300 papers. Throughout her life she received many honors and distinctions, most notably the Cross of Honor, the highest recognition of contributions given by her native Austria . Olga's best-known and most influential work was in the field of matrix theory, though she also made important contributions to number theory.

Felix (Christian) Klein Ph.D. Universität Bonn Felix Klein is best known for his work in non- euclidean geometry, for his work on the connections between geometry and group theory, and for results in function theory. However Klein considered his work in function theory to be the summit of his work in mathematics. He owed some of his greatest successes to his development of Riemann's ideas and to the intimate alliance he forged between the later and the conception of invariant theory, of number theory and algebra, of group theory, and of multidimensional geometry and the theory of differential equations, especially in his own fields, elliptic modular functions and automorphic functions.

Featured lectures showcased the research of outstanding women in mathematics. Talks and discussions by established mathematicians with careers in government, business, industry and academia focused on contemporary issues of concern to young women, highlighting non-traditional career paths for mathematicians. The primary goals of the celebration were to assist, encourage, and inspire the graduate student and recent Ph.D. participants, to provide a forum for networking between mathematicians at different career stages, and to promote the achievements of women in mathematics. Senior investigators provided role models and offered mentoring for the beginning women mathematicians. The graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s who participated were to find in the legacy of Olga Taussky Todd a realistic model and worthy goals for their lives.

Olga Taussky Todd Olga Taussky Todd, a major presence in mathematics, died on October 7, 1995, in Pasadena, California, at the age of 89. In 1937 she took a position at the University of London, where she met her dashing husband-to-be, John (Jack) Todd, from Belfast, Ireland. According to Olga, they met when Jack asked her for help on a technical mathematics question, which she was initially unable to supply; they were married at the end of 1938. During World War II, Olga was employed by the British Ministry of Aircraft Production at the National Physical Laboratory. There, she worked on the flutter analysis of wings of subsonic and supersonic aircraft, and she was one of the first to apply the Gerschgorin circle theorem to a practical problem of estimating numerically the eigenvalues of a matrix. Olga and Jack came to the United States in 1947 to be researchers at the National Bureau of Standards. They remained at NBS until 1957, when they accepted professorships at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Olga received the Ford Prize of the Mathematical Association of America for her paper "Sums of Squares" ( American Mathematical Monthly , Vol. 77, 1950, pages 805- 830). She was elected to the Austrian and Bavarian Academies of Science and was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She was an editor of the

The conference showcased the research of outstanding women in mathematics and highlighted various issues of concern to young women entering the mathematical research communty. The career of Olga Taussky Todd (1906-1995) served as a worthy model for the participants. Taussky was born in Olmütz, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now in the Czech Republic. As a child, she loved writing, especially essays, poems, and music. In high school, her interests turned to science, particularly astronomy, then finally to mathematics. Taussky studied at the University of Vienna, focusing on number theory in her doctoral dissertation. By 1937, she was working at the University of London, where she met and married mathematical analyst John Todd. Though Taussky's main interest was initially number theory, she was to become what she later termed "a torchbearer" for another branch of mathematics known as matrix theory.
