GUR Group to look at planning a financial future with Math 107

Megan Deeney, (Mathematics) will present “Who wants to be a millionaire? Planning your financial future with MATH 107” in a pair of Faculty GUR Group presentations March 5 and 12.

Faculty and staff members are invited to join their colleagues from across campus to explore excerpts of her course and reflect with participants on the instructional methods she employs.

Want to have a million dollars (or more) when you retire, or do you want to save for something in the shorter term? Deeney will discuss a few simple formulas to plan your savings strategy to achieve your goals. The discussion also may cover mortgage decisions, such as whether to buy discount points or whether it makes sense to refinance. These are some of the topics covered in the GUR MATH 107.

Deeney will give an overview of the rest of the course as well, which looks at basic probability and statistics and how to evaluate statistical studies in the media.

All faculty and staff are invited to attend this two-part “mini course” offered on two dates, each covering different material. Attend both or either:

• PART 1: 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, in Miller Hall 114
• PART 2: 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 12, in Miller Hall 114
