IT’S LIKE TEAM JEOPARDY, BUT WITH MATH QUESTIONS

Sample toss-up questions:

1. Name a mathematician at Lafayette who’s name can be rearranged to spell SETS ON FIRE.
2. What shape are the faucets in the bathrooms of Pardee?
3. What is the sum of the first 4 primes?

Here’s how we run the show: There are four teams with 4 people on each team. Like college bowl tournaments, there will be a buzzer system that lets you buzz in to answer the question. Toss-up questions will be worth 10 points, bonuses are worth more. Your team gets a crack at a bonus if they answered the toss-up correctly.

There is a sign-up sheet in the math lounge - make sure you sign up before all the slots are full!

The Music Department is hosting Noontime recitals on the first Wednesday of each month, which will include selections by music Department students and faculty. The programs begin at 12:15. Bring your lunch. Arts Society will provide refreshments.

The Teaching and Learning Committee invites faculty to participate in a series of discussions based on Gerald Graff's book "Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind"(Yale, 2003). Graff combines recent research and provocative arguments relating to the compartmentalization of academic disciplines, the difficulty of academic discourse, and obstacles to teaching argument and critical thinking in higher education--as well as a few modest proposals for addressing these issues.

Books are available free at the Dean of the College's office for faculty interested in joining some or all of the discussions. The third discussion will take place in Gilbert's Annex at 4:10pm on Wednesday, December 3.

Please contact Chris Phillips (phillipc@lafayette.edu) or Rebecca Metzger (metzgerr@lafayette.edu) with any questions.

The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
