Off the Grid - Ed Doolittle
Two of my stops are were sparked by the same mathematics and are essentially the same stop, just at two different times. This mathematics related to Euler and the Konigsberg Bridges. For me, graph theory is by far my favourite discipline of mathematics and so, when I saw in the abstract that Edward Doolittle would be discussing the topic, one which many of my peers in this math cohort were unable to study in the math education, I was delighted. I was so delighted that I decided to google Doolittle to see what areas of math he studied and lo and behold, I saw graph theory. But, this was not graph theory in my conventional sense. No, it was graph theory with an Indigenous context. this was extremely exciting for me as I have been struggling to see how to implement both Indigenous perspectives and graph theory into my classroom. Doolittle presents graph theory in an Indigenous context through a video lecture at BIRS, the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation a...
