Welcome!
Congratulations! You found our class blog! This is where we as a team will hopefully create a resource to help us conquer any issues that arise during our class this year. This is the place to talk about what’s happening in class; to ask a question you didn’t get to ask in class; to share your knowledge with fellow classmates and any other Internet users who choose to read our notes;…and most importantly it’s a place to reflect on what we’re learning.
A large part of retaining knowledge requires reviewing and discussing new information on a regular basis. This blog is intended to help each of you do just that. Between creating your own posts and commenting on your classmates’ posts, you will have the opportunity to explore each of the topics we cover this year in greater depth. I hope you will use this forum to help yourself and your classmates in whatever ways you can think of.
Blogging Prompt
Occasionally I will include a posting of my own, either to clarify a concept or to generate some further discussion. These postings will have a title similar to the one above this paragraph.
To get things rolling, here’s a question for you to think about and respond: Is God a mathematician? Why or why not?
Don’t forget to email me with the information I requested in class so I can include you on the team!

I don't think God needs to be a mathematician because he already knows everything. He's just waiting for us to catch on.
I don't think God is a mathematician either. I've always thought of him more as a philosopher overlooking what he creates rather than a mathmatician staring at the limits of a domain.
God created mathematicians, therefore he also created math. I wish God could help me with my math homework.
Well, yes and no. God is a mathmetician because he created math but he allowed others to expand upon it becoming the real mathematicians.
I think that if you believe in God then you must also believe he is a mathematician, because he had to create the world in accordance with mathematics in order for us to discover mathematics in the world.
Math is very orderly, and the world, in some senses is orderly, but in many ways it is not. Human nature is sort of messy, for example, but the way nature works is usually fairly orderly and scientific.
