Project NExT Helps New Ph.D.s In the Classroom-and Beyond

摘要

A he ceremony, held 2 hours before the opening banquet of the summer meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), had the festive air of a graduation. The honorees filed forward to receive certificates, returning to their seats with whoops, cheers, and high jinks. But these "graduates" already had doctorates in mathematics. The celebration marked the end of their year as fellows of Project NExT, an innovative new program that represents a generational change in the way mathematicians enter the teaching profession.
