Abstract :
Four principles are presented for team teaching involving faculty from different departments and with different technical specialties. The emphasis of the paper is on the opportunities for interdisciplinary cooperation where each professor provides a unique strength to the teaching team. Personal experiences are cited for the past academic year in team teaching a differential equations and linear algebra course both fall and spring semesters. Recommendations for improvements in this teaching model are suggested
