Connections

After teaching at ASA (and it's predecessors) for 15 years, I want to present some of the favorite lessons I have taught during that time. Topics may include History, Philosophy, Politics, Current Events, Math, Science (especially Physics and Botany), Logic and Problem Solving, Religion, and/or Literature. I also like to do new things, and will be taking topics from the students as well. It will be eclectic and so we will also be noticing the connections which unite all these things.
