MAT192H1: Liberating Mathematics
Currently, mathematics is at a crossroads between tradition and progress. Progress has been led in large part by women mathematicians, in particular Black women, Indigenous women, and women from visible minorities. Intertwined in their studies of mathematics is a daring critique of traditional mathematics, re-imagining of mathematics culture, and more. This course will compare and contrast new forms of accessible mathematics with standard sources that draw dominantly on the experiences and narratives of men. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.

This is why a university degree is worth less every year.

The next time that someone asks me why I think universities are rushing head-long in to irrelevance I will show them this.

How is paying for this course going to generate a positive roi? This is where students are spending their money - to clarify this is where they're spending mommy and daddy's money or the taxpayers money (via government programs). Or if they're just plain stupid they might be spending money they borrowed or worked for.

"Re-imagining of mathematics culture"- fucking shoot me.

I thought math was absolute in it's self with out gender or racial creed. I know of people of all walks of life that have made discoveries in mathematics. This article is stupid to say the least.

Ask them to name a few of these women at the forefront of this new mathematics, just to watch them squirm..

Reading something this amazing in 2021 at a respected university is nothing short of dystopian. We see these times as we now see the Germany of 1938. A time of madness and propaganda.

Feminism is anti-intellectual.

First thing I thought of.

The feminisation of math and science results in a politicising, a dumbing down of the deciplines. Say a lot about the impact of feminism on academia. College and university transcripts are going to be an interesting read, when one of the subjects missing from a math degree is "math".
