Cool Classes: Mathematics Beyond Calculus

"I’ve taught public key cryptography as an upper-level elective, but I’m excited to learn alongside first-year students. I would rather assist beginning students to explore what they want to learn rather than teach them what I know and think is important. There are some natural questions to ask, of course, but it will be really fun to explore questions students ask that I haven’t anticipated." — Professor of Mathematics Lynne Butler

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience .

Bricolage Co-op Brings D.I.Y. Spirit to Haverford

Bricolage Co-op is a new student-run organization, born last spring from an anthropology course taught by Assistant Professor Joshua Moses. The group aims to foster community through D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) projects, skills sharing, and exchanges of member-made items.

One of the recurring events the group sponsors is a potluck/clothing swap/craft fair held on the last Friday of every month. Photo: Caleb Eckert '17
