Math Emporium at USD:
Why the Change and How Has It Performed?
Success rates in introductory math courses are of grave concern all across the country. It is easily the one subject that prevents many students from obtaining a college degree. In this talk I will discuss a new method of delivery for introductory math courses which has been termed the "Math Emporium" approach and why it has received so much traction across the nation.
Dan Van Peursem came to USD in 1997 after receiving his degree from UNL in applied mathematics. His thesis area was in analytical modeling of groundwater flows with recirculation wells but he has since been interested in problems in the field of mathematical biology. He became chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences in 2004 and is serving in that role.
