Mathematics professor introduces high school students to the latest technology

Kirtland Community College - MI, Michigan

With rapid progress in technology education, colleges and universities have a great deal to offer school partners through their computer resources. One example is the work of Nicholas Holton, a math professor at Kirtland Community College, who instituted a program to introduce talented high school students to the latest developments in computer technology through mathematics. Students in the top four math classes at a local high school were brought to Kirtland for a day of presentations on 3D modeling in calculus, trigonometry applications, and internet resources on mathematics.
