Abstract

Long gone are the days of a math professor’s contribution being only to mathematics. Today, typical mission statements include goals of writing across the curriculum, higher order thinking, and always creativity and self-expression. This writing assignment focused on developing information literacy, the art of finding meaning and authenticity in the deluge of information that is available today. Like other components peripheral to math education, information literacy weaves techniques of analytical thinking and decision making into a standard curriculum.
