ICM Activities
Paul Wang, Dean Zeller and Su Wei are actively involved in
updating the MathPASS system that the Mathematics Department uses
for remedial mathematics education classes. The updated MathPASS will
use MathML for displaying formulas and computer algebra systems for
answer checking, among other new features.
Su Wei is a scholar from Lanzhou University, supported
by a grant from the People's Republic of China, to visit ICM starting
late August 2007 for a period of one to two years. Su Wei will be
taking some classes and also participate in the WME research group.
Conference: Conference
on the Occasion of Richard Varga's 80th Birthday, October 17-18, 2008,
Department of Mathematical Sciences, Kent State University
-
ETNA: 2008 Special Volume 31 -
Computational Methods with Applications, held in Harrachov, Czech Republic,
during the week of August 19-25, 2007. The conference was in fact third in a
row, following the tradition of the meetings which took place in 1997 and 2002
in Milovy, Czech Republic. The papers represent a good sample of the breadth of
the field covered by the conference participants; each article underwent the
standard refereeing process of ETNA.
-
ETNA: 2007 Special Volume 29 - GAMM-SIAM
Conference on Applied Linear Algebra held at the University of Düsseldorf,
Germany, on 24-27 July 2006. SIAM's and GAMM's very active special interest
groups on linear algebra organized the Düsseldorf conference as a continuation
of SIAM's successful triannual conference series on Applied Linear Algebra.
-
Mathematics for Real-life Problems a
new colloquium series chaired by Prof. Olaf Stackelberg will begin
Fall 2005.
Web-based Mathematics Education, in cooperation with Prof. Michael
Mikusa (Education School, Kent State), Kimpton middle school mathematics
teachers Mrs. Grace Dorene Ellis and Mrs. Kim Yoak, and others from US
and around the world, on-going since January 2004.
ETNA: Following the Flows of Numerical Analysis, Conference May 29-31, 2003
IAMC Workshops:
Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation workshops,
1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003
(with online proceedings). The IAMC 2003 Workshop
will take place Thursday 7 August 2003 Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA USA
