Meet IU faculty teaching online
Markus Pomper
Markus Pomper, Dean of the IU East School of Natural Science and Mathematics, sees learning as a social undertaking. The IU Online Mathematics program strives to create a community of engagement among faculty and students, with discussions, math club, colloquium, honors, outside speakers, peer support, faculty-student research, and collaboration and mentoring that extends beyond classroom walls. The online format accommodates activities difficult or impossible in person, like collaboratively developing mathematical proofs, and engaging with a worldwide community of classmates, whose backgrounds and professions immeasurably enrich discussion.
Chris Harle
