A key mission of the Mathematics of Planet Earth program is to increase the engagement of mathematics and mathematicians (researchers, teachers, students, and the public) with issues of planet Earth, and in particular creating a sustainable society and economic system. Encouraging mathematics teachers at all levels to create and use planet-related curriculum materials is one of the program's priorities. This workshop brings together community college faculty from across the United States to revise and develop sustainability materials suitable for the community college classroom.
The Community college modules produced following the workshop are now available, together with the MPE modules upon which they are based, on this webpage.
