SUMMER SESSION APPLICATION GUIDELINES AND INFORMATION
IAS/PARK CITY MATHEMATICS INSTITUTE
http://www.ias.edu/parkcity/
The 2006 Summer Session of the IAS/Park City Mathematics
Institute will be held in Park City, Utah, from
June 25 - July 15, 2006. This three week residential
program is organized into six groups:
- Secondary School Teachers Program
- Undergraduate Faculty Program
- Mathematics Education Research Program
- Graduate Summer School
- Undergraduate Summer School
- Research Program
These groups meet simultaneously, pursuing both individual
courses of study and a meaningful amount of interaction.
The rich mathematical experience combined with interaction
among all participants results in greatly increased
understanding and awareness of the issues confronting
mathematics and mathematics education today.
The research topic for 2006 is "Low Dimensional Topology"
and the education topic is "Mathematics Knowledge for
Teaching."
Teachers are given full support and a stipend during the
Summer Session. In addition, 6 quarter-credits of 400-level
mathematics are available from the University of Washington
for a nominal fee.
Learn more about the Secondary School Teachers Program by
viewing the information posted from previous years on the
PCMI@MathForum site:

Deadline for submission of applications is February 15, 2006.
The IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute is an outreach
program of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for
Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey.

MATH MARVELS
http://www.3villagecsd.k12.ny.us/wmhs/Departments/Math/OBrien/mathmarvels.html
Students from Mrs. O'Brien's Sequential III Honors math
class created this project with the intention of learning
about a mathematician whose work has influenced the course
of mathematics as well as curriculum.
The pages feature information on the lives of mathematicians
written in a dialogue format with imagined conversation
between the interviewing student and the mathematician.
