Rio Mar 1 & 2
SIAM continues its series of workshops on applied mathematics for K-12 teachers at recent Annual Meetings with a full-day program developed in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Statewide Systemic Initiative sponsored by NSF. The Annual Meeting's early morning plenary session on mathematics education reform sets the stage for activities particularly appropriate for middle-and high-school teachers. Two hands-on, one-hour workshop sessions focused on applications complement a short talk on how mathematics is used in real life situations in industrial consulting. The day concludes with a panel discussion by several recent minority applied mathematics graduates on their personal work experiences since receiving their Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics.
