What's Different About Honors Mathematics?

Honors mathematics classes should be different from other mathematics classes, but how should they be different? This roundtable discussion will try and quantify the distinction, but I suspect there will not be a uniform answer. I will briefly present some of the teaching techniques that distinguish my Honors calculus classes from ‘regular' calculus classes to start the discussion. I will also present a ‘wish list' of ideas for Honors mathematics that I would like to implement, but have not for various reasons. Next there will be time for others, both students and teachers to respond and to share their failures and successes in teaching Honors mathematics classes. The overall goal of this Roundtable Discussion is to give mathematics faculty and students a chance to communicate with others about how their experience with both learning and teaching Honors mathematics is different and important.
