Class on Numbers Offered

Thu, Aug 11, 2011

Numbers 101, the upcoming fall course from Education Unlimited, will be taught by Mark Manchester, a math professor for 28 years at Morrisville State College,

“I’m hoping this class will help people see that we could have ended up with a very different number system than we have today," said Manchester. "We’ll examine different ones from the past and debate whether any of them might have been better than what we’re using, We’ll have the luxury of learning about the people behind the math and the more intriguing questions that never get explored in a traditional math class.”

Classes will be held Mondays and Thursdays from Sept. 12 through Sept. 29 from 3-4 p.m. at the Hamilton Public Library.

To register, send your name, address, and phone number with a check for $15 to Education Unlimited, c/o Joan Goodrich, 155 Lebanon Street, Hamilton NY 13346.

Education Unlimited, a community-run organization that has offered classes for over 30 years, is sponsored by the Madison County Office for the Aging and is open to all, regardless of age or education.
