Kailey Lyman '16Following her dreams for teaching math and soccerKailey Lyman ’16 had a dream to teach math and coach soccer at the same time.  Her passion for math and soccer, coupled with the support and opportunities from PLU, helped her to achieve her goals. A dream has come true After Lyman graduated from the Master of Arts in Education program, she found her dream opportunity at Whitman Middle School in the Seattle School District.  She is now teaching eighth grade math and geometry as

. In Luther’s intellectual work lay the seeds of a new vision of free and responsible society. The intellectual structure of the Lutheran reform movement was laid in previous centuries by the twin influences of the medieval European universities and Renaissance humanism. The medieval universities provided the foundations of free academic inquiry through a curriculum shaped by the classical trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy). These in turn

The Contemplation of the Humanities Originally published in 2016 But, for the time being, here we all are, Back in the moderate Aristotelian city Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience, And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.

. Prerequisite: MATH 152. (4) MATH 319 : Introduction to Proofs: Geometry Introduces the foundations of geometry while emphasizing the importance of proof-related concepts such as mathematical grammar, logical equivalence, direct proofs, indirect proofs, proof by contradiction, and proof by induction. Content may include Euclidean, projective, and non-Euclidean geometries (possibly including spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry). Prerequisite: MATH 152. (4) MATH 331 : Linear Algebra Vectors and

social order.  As stability returned in the Middle Ages and then growth in the Renaissance, this memory of Rome became the basis for education:  the ideal citizen mastered what the old empire had bequeathed.  In fact, the first universities based their curricula around the trivium (grammar, logic, rhetoric) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy) as outlined by Plato and Cicero.  The Early Modern, or Neo-Classical, period adopted Classical models even more closely, but with a

offline ray tracing to achieve visually appealing and realistic image generation while compromising on efficiency. This ray tracing project focuses on generating different images by introducing the triangle mesh object, optimizing the rendering performance of mesh objects by implementing a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) tree acceleration structure to efficiently organize and traverse the scene’s geometry, reducing the number of ray-object intersection tests needed and significantly improving
