Math 57: Applied Differential Equations I, John Mayberry
Pacific Open Texts
This book is designed for the fourth semester, “capstone” course in a calculus sequence with an emphasis on modeling with linear differential equations. Students will learn to translate verbal descriptions of physical problems into differential equation models, solve and visualize solutions to differential equations using MATLAB, calculate and investigate the behavior of analytic solutions to linear differential equations, discuss how solutions to differential equations depend on parameters, and interpret solutions to differential equations in the context of applications.

Video lectures explaining problem solving strategies are available
Our goal in this set of lecture notes is to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical analysis. Such a foundation is crucial for future study of deeper topics of analysis. Students should be familiar with most of the concepts presented here after completing the calculus sequence. However, these concepts will be reinforced through rigorous proofs.
The lecture notes contain topics of real analysis usually covered in a 10-week course: the completeness axiom, sequences and convergence, continuity, and differentiation. In addition, the notes include many carefully selected exercises of various levels …
The Art Of Analysis, Christopher Hammond
The Art Of Analysis, Christopher Hammond
Open Educational Resources
Christopher Hammond, Professor of Mathematics at Connecticut College, has written an introductory textbook in real analysis. This resource is freely available for anyone to use, either individually or in a classroom setting.
The primary innovation of this text is a new perspective on teaching the theory of integration. Most introductory analysis courses focus initially on the Riemann integral, with other definitions discussed later (if at all). The paradigm being proposed is that the Riemann integral and the “generalized Riemann integral” should be considered simultaneously, not separately – in the same manner as uniform continuity and continuity. Riemann integrability is simply …

Mathematics For Biomedical Physics, Jogindra M. Wadehra
Open Textbooks
Mathematics for Biomedical Physics is an open access peer-reviewed textbook geared to introduce several mathematical topics at the rudimentary level so that students can appreciate the applications of mathematics to the interdisciplinary field of biomedical physics. Most of the topics are presented in their simplest but rigorous form so that students can easily understand the advanced form of these topics when the need arises. Several end-of-chapter problems and chapter examples relate the applications of mathematics to biomedical physics. After mastering the topics of this book, students would be ready to embark on quantitative thinking in various topics of biology and …

Reframing The Achievement Gap In Mathematics Education, Madeline Pavolovich '22
Reframing The Achievement Gap In Mathematics Education, Madeline Pavolovich '22
Posters
Much of math education research focuses on a so-called “achievement gap” measured by test scores and similar quantitative measures of “success.” By framing issues of equity in this way, methods to remedy the gap often require subordinated groups to become more like the “higher achieving” group. In other areas of study, we have been quicker to incorporate sociopolitical lenses into teaching and learning with an emphasis on identity and power. Such a sociopolitical turn could help us rethink what it means for math education to be truly equitable.

There are several studies revealing that AI tools used in job search applications and sites will promote different opportunities depending on the gender of the user. Specifically, men are typically shown more competitive job postings than women, given that the users have similar skills and qualifications. In this poster, I will closely examine why algorithms utilized for the job search process may present differently between men and women.

Ranked choice voting is a voting system in which voters rank candidates in order or preference. The winning candidate is determined by eliminating candidates and reassigning their votes until one has a majority. It provides solutions to some of the fundamental issues with traditional voting. But is it more fair? Should it be instituted in American democratic elections?

The Impossible Theorem Of Fairness, Man Nguyen '22
The Impossible Theorem Of Fairness, Man Nguyen '22
Posters
With the growth of machine learning, there has been an increase of machine biases that can cause wrongful discrimination. In the case of implementing “fairness,” several conceptions of bias were created to target a fair system. However, statisticians have found that these conceptions contradict one another. Thus, we run into an impossible conundrum of fairness in machine learning. In cases that high risk, we want to investigate the best fairness measures if one is possible. Moreover, we would like to determine when these fairness measures fail or what conditions must be met for them to succeed.

We also note how accommodating for these disabilities allows us to imagine better ways of serving all students through notational practices.

In recent years, financial institutions are using machine learning algorithms for the mortgage approval process. Utilizing hundreds of complex variables, they decide whether an applicant gets approved. Recent studies have shown that people of color are disproportionately denied at higher rates for mortgages compared to White individuals.

This poster attempts to look at the impact of social media on political polarization in the United States. Since the 2016 elections, there has been a shift in the political parties and their constituencies away from the center. Some have argued that a large part of this is due to the algorithms that social media use.

The United States lags behind many other developed countries in math skills. The root of the problem lies not in mathematics itself, but in the way the United States approaches teaching math through memorization. One alternative pedagogical method to memorization is experiential learning, which is the process during which students acquire new knowledge through experience and is meant to reflect the way people learn in the real world.

A machine learning model called GRADE was used for PhD admission at UT Austin from the year 2013-2020. The model was trained a small set of past admission decisions which are already bias and was used immediately without further tuning or human validation. The model will score all applicants and the decision is made without further human assessment for applicants with the highest and lowest score. Only 362/588 full human reviews are conducted with a few people admitted and the majority of the rest being rejected by algorithm.
