The TRIUMPHS project creates materials for use in the undergraduate mathematics classroom which teaches content based around original mathematical sources such as the writings of Poincaré, Euclid, Lobachevsky, Hausdorff, and many others. These materials are freely available and downloadable for use in the classroom. The goal of the project is to write, develop, disseminate, and test these curricular materials.
The current grant builds off of the work of two previous grants. Primary Source Projects from the parent grant can be found here while PSPs from the grandparent grant can be found here.
We are always delighted to have instructors use a TRIUMPHS Primary Source Projects (PSPs) in their courses!
Information on all available PSPs – and the PSPs themselves – may be found under the tab entitled “Student projects.” Please let us know if you decide to use one (or more!) of these PSPs yourself, by contacting any member of the PI Team or the PSP author directly.
Applicants who submitted an application to serve as an official Fall 2018 site tester on or before Wednesday June 20 have been contacted by the TRIUMPHS team; please check your inbox for an e-mail from Janet Barnett.
Additional applications from site testers willing to provide instructor data on PSPs implemented in Fall 2018 may be sought at a later date. For more information, please contact Dominic Klyve.
Details about the site tester process and expectations for both student and instructor data collection are located under the tab titled “Site tester information.”
Our next training workshop will take place at the University of Colorado Denver on September 13-15, 2018. For more information, see the TRIUMPHS workshop flyer.
Applications for this workshop are currently under review – thanks to everyone who applied!
We currently have more applicants than available workshop spots, and thus expect to be keeping a waitlist.
If you missed the application deadline, but are interested in possibly being added to that wait list, please contact Dominic Klyve.
Early career faculty, graduate students and faculty in the general geographic area of Denver will be given special wait list consideration.
Interested in this work around the world? Go to ESU-8! We’re presenting there! More information can be found at the ESU-8 website.
