This project was developed by Eric Muller, Professor
of Mathematics at Brock
University and Co-Chair of the Mathematics Education Forum of the Fields
Institute. The work was carried out by Sherrie Dyck, 2002 graduate of
the
Brock Concurrent BSc/BEd Program and by Bruce Petrie a student in the
same Program. The web design was done by Hoi Ying Janice Cho, Weitong
(Tony) Liu and Rebecca Black of the Computer Science Program at Brock
University.
The project was initiated through the MDM4U Task Force
of the Mathematics
Education Forum of the Fields Institute, namely Sandy Dilena and Shirley
Dalrymple (Co-Chairs), Stephen Brown, Sabina Knight, Sunita Kossta,
Michael
McMaster, Eric Muller and Tom Sutton.
Special thanks to Joel Yan from Statistics Canada
for his work to make Canadian
data so readily available to students in the MDM4U course, and to Stephen
Brown, Professor of Statistics, at the University of Waterloo for his
suggestions
for restructuring the approach to each activity.
