How to Train Up a New Generation of James Clerk Maxwells
Is it possible to produce mathematicians today of the same caliber as greats like Sir Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell? How can we help young people develop a genuine interest in mathematics, including its history, applications, and philosophy? Today on ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with mathematics educator, curriculum designer, and medical physicist Amos Tarfa. In Part 1, Amos profiled 19th century Scottish mathematician and physicist James Clerk Maxwell to help us better understand the great scientist’s contributions and how they relate to today’s debate over evolution and intelligent design. Here in Part 2, Amos tells us more about his vision for math education and how we can train up the next generation of James Clerk Maxwells.
