Tom Pfaff, Ithaca College:

Every student in Freshman Calculus takes a “themed” lab connecting what they are learning in calculus with the real world:

• Calculus and Climate• Calculus and Sustainability• Calculus and Poverty• Calculus and Biodiversity• Calculus and Health• Calculus and Social Unrest• Calculus and Financial Markets• …
