>Rockhurst College is hosting a workshop featuring calculus-based
>interdisciplinary projects. The workshop will center around a series of
>activities that will expose the participants to a wide range of
>interdisciplinary projects and laboratory materials for use in math
>classes. The participants will be actively engaged in working through
>selected materials under the guidance of nationally recognized developers.
>Included in the workshop will be presentations and discussions on the
>rationale and motivation for including interdisciplinary projects in
>mathematics courses. Participants will be encouraged to experiment with
>different implementation methods and evaluate the suitability of the
>projects for instructional use. Assisting the mathematics developers will
>be seven scientists who have been closely involved in the development of
>the projects. At least one of the developers has been working on creating
>mathematics projects for use in science classes and laboratories.
