In a typical math classroom, we go in, listen to a lecture about the infinite number of primes, or the procedure for finding a subgroup, and frantically copy the deluge of mathematics, all while trying to comprehend the complex concepts being presented. Then we go home, eat dinner, and attempt to apply our concepts to similar, but often new, ideas, without the guiding hand of a trained mathematician. In IBL (Inquiry-Based Learning) classes, we receive materials, go home, and actively think about the new definitions and theorems. Read more from undergraduate mathematics students Sarah E.
