Getting ready

Classes begin tomorrow. Today was given to preparing the syllabus for each class. Midnight approached without a photo, so this was definitely an eleventh-hour post.

“Microeconomics” is for a “general education” course I teach for non-economics majors; “International Economics: Theory & Policy” is for a senior-level class on, well, international economics. (My emphasis will be on the trade aspects.)

“The Story of a Number”? The complete title is “e: The Story of a Number,” by Eli Maor. Not teaching from that one; it’s off the shelf because of yesterday’s nautilus post!

Ineresting that your mind goes from international economics to photography!

@danette Actually, Danette, I have had an idea for a post that I haven't "set up" yet. I used to do web design and was, for a time, a sort of font-aholic… In recent years I have become quite interested in effective "data visualization" (presenting data in effective ways)… There's photography, of course. I finally saw the common thread of "things-visual" when one of my daughters gave me a book, _Just My Type_. Oh, and don't forget yesterday's nautilus post: the geometry of the spiral is also "something-visual"!

Neat! Good luck!

I admire your ability to understand and teach this, and probably in a way that is interesting of course.
