DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/58/">Co
 nversations with reality: learning and teaching applied math</a>\nby Dorot
 hy Wallace (Dartmouth College) as part of Online Seminar On Undergraduate 
 Mathematics Education\n\n\nAbstract\nAlthough many math courses are descri
 bed\nas “applied math” it would be more accurate\nto say they teach 
 “applicable math”. Students\nare rarely given the opportunity to behav
 e like\napplied mathematicians in most courses. Let\nus fix this by re-ima
 gining applied\nmathematics as a conversation with reality\nand analyzing 
 how to carry out this\nconversation\, starting with a common\ntextbook exa
 mple.\nWe will draw on the history of mathematics to\nsee what aspects are
  left out of most\ntreatments of applied math. We will add these\nback int
 o our discourse and further recast the\ndoing of applied math as a form of
  scientific\ninquiry. We will offer a more complex\nexample of how this wo
 rks out in practice and\nconclude with a few general observations.\n
