To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before: Doing Experimental Mathematics

Here's what our Summer 2008 students had to say about To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before: Doing Experimental Mathematics:

This class consists of a very relaxed, yet informative environment. As class begins, our teacher, Dr. Kevin Peterson, enters the room and begins a lecture on a certain topic in mathematics. Each day brings a new topic. These topics vary vastly and are very interesting to listen to. After his lecture is over, which usually lasts about half an hour to an hour, we are set free to work in either the classroom or in a computer lab. Each week we are assigned four problems to do, three math related and one related to any social problem in the world. We are able to choose our own groups at the beginning, and then we work together in our groups to complete these problems. We must create these problems either by scratch or based on previously conjectured problems.
