We welcome participants from <strong><em>all<\/em><\/strong> disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What we do<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our 60-minute lunch sessions, we collaborate convivially on short selections of Harriot&#8217;s manuscripts in an attempt to understand the content and context of his writings, his illustrations, his personal notes, and even his doodles. We use traditional methods of paleography (the study of ancient handwriting) and good old fashioned pencil-and-paper math together with innovative digital tools such as IIIF image viewing and annotation technology to facilitate our work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our theme<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our theme this year is the use of <strong>digital pedagogy<\/strong> <strong>to enhance the teaching of mathematics<\/strong>. In the wake of the pandemic, average math scores in the country have plummeted, and college educators face steep challenges recovering the deficit. We especially welcome STEM researchers who have an interest in using historical materials and digital tools to enliven and enhance teaching, as well as early-modernists and medievalists who want to integrate paleography and\/or the cultural history of mathematics in their courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love deciphering old mysteries and learning about early science?
