‘Good CT practices’ Reminders
A series of posters of reminders of ‘good programming practices for engaging in mathematical work. Developed for MATH 1P40 (MICA I) course at Brock University by Alana Mulder (Brock University). Funded by SSHRC Partnership Development Grant ((Gadanidis & Sinclair et al.; 2016-18): Computational Thinking in Mathematics Education)
Programming for conducting an applied mathematics investigation’
Introductory course outline (MICA I) – with tasks
First year course using programming for pure and applied mathematics investigation projects. Course outline and five project guidelines designed by Bill Ralph (Brock University) since 2001.
Introductory course lab guidelines (MICA I)
Lab guidelines for the first year course using programming for pure and applied mathematics investigation projects. Organization of lab sessions designed by Bill Ralph (Brock University) in 2002 (updated 2017).
Computational Thinking in Undergraduate Math
This short article reflects on recent activities by academic mathematicians, under the name of ‘computational thinking’, and argues for whether and how it could be brought into undergraduate mathematics education.

Upper-year course for future math teachers (MICA III*) – with tasks
Upper year programming-based mathematics course for prospective teachers first offered in 2017. Course design by Chantal Buteau (Brock University) including programming-based mathematics tasks originally designed by Bill Ralph (Brock University) and adapted by Buteau.
Overview of Implementation at Brock
Just like mathematicians do it!
