Angie Hodge, assistant professor of mathematics, gave an invited lecture on June 15 at the Cornell Mathematics Summer Institute.
The institute is a summer workshop for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in mathematics. A major focus of the course is the advanced undergraduate course in algebra. In addition to the course work, participants work on projects that provide opportunities for exploration in a research-like setting, culminating in a public presentation.
Hodge’s talk was on how mathematicians can study how abstract algebra is used to teach in the secondary classroom.
