Title of Talk: Implementing a Class Journal in a Small Upper-Division IBL Course
Abstract: In Fall 2020, I made a change to my upper-division IBL modern geometries course by making publishing in and refereeing for a class journal a significant part of the students' class grade. In this model, a student (or small group of students) who present a proof of a result in class submit a typed proof of the result to a class journal. The paper is then refereed and ultimately published. My first two iterations of this (including real analysis in Spring 2021) proved less successful than I had hoped, and I felt like part of the reason was having fewer than 10 students in my classes was partially at fault. I was not deterred. This fall, I am teaching Modern Algebra I using a class journal, and adjustments made appear to be paying off. In this talk, I will discuss the models that I have used, the struggles I encountered during the 2020–2021 academic year, and the changes made for Fall 2021 that have made a positive impact.

Title of Talk: Critical Locations in Infrastructure
Abstract: Critical locations in infrastructure are roads that if damaged would cause a large disruption in the ability of vehicles to navigate a city. This talk will introduce a model that determines the critical locations of Indianola, Iowa. This research was completed by three undergraduate students as part of the Bryan Summer Research Program at Simpson College. This talk will also discuss several extensions of the research that students at your institution could explore.

Title of Talk: Tips and Tricks for Tracking a Student Centered Class
Abstract: Teaching an IBL mathematics class can often feel like transitioning from trying to herd cats to sitting in the kitten room and watching appreciating watching them crawl all over each other. When it works, this brings a warm and fuzzy feeling to your heart, but then you realize that you need to keep track of all this chaos and have something for the assessment gurus at the end of the term. Fear not, this is possible to do and in such a way that your students will become more engaged and not less. The trick is to include discussion tracking as part of the responsibility of the student and not solely that of the teacher. This talk will go over a variety of successful and not-so-successful ways to include students in the tasks of classroom management and discussion tracking. I will give you at least one, concrete method that you could use in your class and a variety of things you could do to personalize the technique for your personality. Finally, I will explain how this works to create a more student-owned learning space where the emphasis is on mathematics and learning and not on grades.

Title of Talk: Advanced Calculus using Mathematica
Abstract: Advanced Calculus using Mathematica is a complete text on calculus of several variables written in Mathematica NoteBooks. The eText has large movable figures and interactive programs to illustrate things like “zooming in” to see “local linearity.” In addition to lots of traditional style exercises, the eText also has sections on computing with Mathematica. We will discuss some of the novel features of the text including the explicit, implicit, parametric organization and topics often omitted from "regular" texts (like "vector potentials.") We use the text in a second semester multivariable calculus course and a more advanced course.

Title of Talk: Arrow's Hypotheses
Abstract: We prove three consequences of Arrow's Hypotheses. (1) If some of the ballots put x first and the rest put x last, then x has to be either first or last in the group ranking. (2) If the rankings of a with b match the rankings of c with d on each ballot, then the group ranking must also match the ranking of a with b and c with d. (3) The group ranking must match one of the ballots. This material was taken from "Three Brief Proofs of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem" by John Geanakoplos. The point of the talk is to show that the proofs are very elementary. The various strategies for voting are covered in many very elementary texts. Their discussion is directed towards with of the hypotheses the voting strategies violate. This talk shows how the hypotheses can be combined to directly obtain conclusions that do not seem as fundamentally fair as the original hypotheses.
