Dirichlet, Cauchy, Cantor, Riemann, Weierstrass and others, in theirstudy of continuity and convergence of series, invented ingenious, counterintuitivecounterexamples and produced analytical techniques which culminated in Lebesgue’smagnificent theory of integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos.

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

Enrollment data (Table I)indicate that about 2/3 of Fall quarter freshmen should be enrolled in either Pre-Calculus orCalculus I, and at most 1/20 should be without a Fall math class. On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey.

They’ll stare blankly at first but once the instructor says “No, I’mserious - discuss it with each other,” they’ll get the message. One might suppose that theresult of such a request would be some desultory and quiet discussions which would quicklydie down. How wrong such a presumption would be. Every time I’ve initiated such a processthe noise level ratchets up at an amazing rate. Students truly get into it - arguing forciblyfor one view or another. The energy level generated is simply astounding.After a couple of minutes the instructor should call time and again ask for a show of hands.Depending on the point

In the midst of hardship, Tesla mustered the energy to file in March 1886 a patentapplication for a thermo-magnetic motor--a novel device powered by heating and coolingmagnets.23 Discussions about his invention with the foreman at his ditch-digging job led to anintroduction to Charles F. Peck. Intrigued by the thermo-magnetic motor concept, Peckoffered to underwrite Tesla’s research. Because Peck was no technical expert, he invitedAlfred S. Brown, a superintendent at Western Union, to join him in supporting Tesla. Topermit Tesla to concentrate on inventing, Peck and Brown organized the Tesla ElectricCompany, rented a laboratory for him in Manhattan's financial district, and brought Szigetifrom Europe to assist him.
