APSU students traveled to Wisconsin for annual Math. Fest conference CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. Ben Ntatin, APSU associate professor of mathematics, takes a group of math students to local and national conferences to expose them to the realities of the mathematics world. This practice is part of his teaching philosophy, which emphasizes getting students out of the classroom. The benefit is the students are challenged, and it places them in the broader perspective of what mathematics is outside the classroom.” Ntatin likes taking his students to Math. Fest every year because the Mathematics Association of America is the pre- eminent math organization in the country.
Many of the students will become members of the association during their professional careers. But Wisconsin isn’t that close, and flights for seven students can get expensive. The grant program, instituted by APSU President Tim Hall, seeks to encourage student engagement within the academic community and to foster faculty- student interactions outside of the classroom.
That’s because his students now believe more in their abilities as mathematicians. It’s a different scenario than just being in class.” The APSU students who attended Math. Fest include Jessie, Emarus Shay, Cory Medlin, Liliana Alvarez, Anne French, Megan Alvarez and Reneice Glasper.
