Things to learn

This page is being developed by Craig L. Zirbel. I am slowly adding material that I have developed over the years. Here is a topic list.

• Link to my web page at Bowling Green State University

• Start programming, a page full of exercises to help you learn how to program

• Lecture notes, from courses I have taught over the years

• Markov chain models for the spread of an infection in a population

  • Simple infection model where the infection probability stays constant over time

  • Time-dependent infection model where the probability of infection is proportional to the fraction of the population that is infected

  • Time-dependent infection model with vaccination and loss of immunity

• Blackjack talk, slides from a talk I gave on the card game Blackjack in 2001, including optimal stopping

• Chess resources, for teaching beginners how to play chess

• Teaching college mathematics, a set of web pages especially suited for graduate students teaching for the first time

• Activities that replace lectures, well-produced classroom activities, a kind of inquiry learning

• Calculus activities, a full set of classroom activities for Calculus I

•
