Abstract:

The world outside calculus courses is using more and more data. Many of our students want to know about AI, big data, and machine learning—and some will go on to be successful in these fields. While continuity is central to calculus, let’s think about how we can include discrete data in Calculus I and II. Does it have a place? Does it provide interesting examples? What does it add mathematically? We will talk about the benefits—and challenges—of using data, with examples from the pandemic, sustainability, and climate change.
