Undergraduates Speak Out! Undergraduate Mathematics Conference: Tomorrow’s Mathematicians Today

Mathematics, Mathematicians, and Mathematics Education

I am one of a growing number of research mathematicians who are substantially engaged with school mathematics education. Such outreach has a long and honorable tradition. In this lecture, I illustrate some of the ways that I think this can be helpful, and even essential. Upon his retirement in 1990 as president of the ICMI, Jean Pierre Kahane spoke perceptively of the intimate connection betwee...

Southeastern Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics

Splines are a well-known construction originally developed for engineering applications but now used widely in algorithms in computer graphics, differential equations, numerical analysis, and other fields. Billera and others pioneered a more theoretical approach to splines using high-powered techniques from algebra. Over the last fifteen years, geometers and topologists independently rediscover...
