Interdisciplinarity, creativity, and learning : mathematics with literature, paradoxes, history, technology, and modeling

Interdisciplinarity is increasingly viewed as a necessary ingredient in the training of future oriented 21st century disciplines that rely on both analytic and synthetic abilities across disciplines. Nearly every curricular document or vision statement of schools and universities include a call for...
