What I mean is this: Does there exist a mathematics podcast where a mathematician of some sort looks at undergraduate/graduate mathematical topics and look into the history (how those objects came along) or how mathematical ideas come from places that you never would have guessed (or at least, the average mathematician would not have guessed). … Read more
I’m looking for problems/lessons plans that could be used in a lower-division differential equations course that involve discerning properties of solutions of an equation, IVP, or BVP, without looking for an explicit/implicit solution (general or particular, given the context). Flow lines are an example of this, but I’m looking for something more advanced. One idea … Read more
