Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching and Visualizing Differential GeometryPinsky, Nathan 01 May 2013 (has links)
In recent decades, education researchers have recognized the need for teachers to have a nuanced content knowledge in addition to pedagogical knowledge, but very little research was conducted into what this knowledge would entail. Beginning in 2008, math education researchers began to develop a theoretical framework for the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching, but their work focused primarily on elementary schools. I will present an analysis of the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching about the regular curves and surfaces, two important concepts in differential geometry which generalize to the advanced notion of a manifold, both in a college classroom and in an on-line format. I will also comment on the philosophical and political questions that arise in this analysis.
