IAS/PCMI Applications and Information, Summer 2010
http://pcmi.ias.edu/summer-program/
The 2010 Summer Session of the IAS/Park City Mathematics
Institute will be held in Park City, Utah, from
June 27–July 17, 2010. This three-week residential program
is organized into seven groups:
- Clay Senior Scholars in Residence
- Graduate Summer School
- International Seminar in Mathematics Education
- Research Program in Mathematics
- Secondary School Teachers Program
- Undergraduate Faculty Program
- Undergraduate Summer School
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 2010 is "Image Processing" and the
education topic is "Making Mathematical Connections."
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.

Deadline for submission of applications is January 31, 2010.
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.
Hard Problems
http://www.hardproblemsmovie.com/
Hard Problems is a feature documentary about the students who
represented the United States at the 2006 International
Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). We featured the site before the
movie was first released in January, 2008.
The film is now being broadcast on public television
stations around the country, beginning this fall and continuing
through 2013. For a list of air dates, see:

Mathematical Paintings of Crockett Johnson
http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/group_detail.cfm?key=1253&gkey=192
David Crockett Johnson was perhaps most famous for his
children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon. From 1965
until his death in 1975, Crockett Johnson painted over 100
works relating to mathematics and mathematical physics. Of
these paintings, eighty are found in the collections of the
National Museum of American History. They are presented on
this site, with related diagrams from the artist's library
and papers.
