Invited Speakers
MAA-Michigan is pleased to announce a stellar lineup of invited speakers. Opening the conference, we are very fortunate to have David Bressoud, President, MAA, Macalester College. He will talk on the transition from high school to college level mathematics. A special feature this year will be a presentation by Tim Chartier, Davidson College, “Mime-matics”. Tim will entertain us again with "Sports Ranking" after dinner on Friday evening. On Saturday, the opening presentation will be from Maria Andersen, President MichMATYC, Muskegon Community College. Her presentation will be "Math Technology to Engage, Delight, and Excite”. A complete list of our invited speakers follows.
Contributed Papers
Sharing of ideas and projects are formally done in the contributed paper sessions. This year we are scheduling a special technology strand that we know will be informative and demonstrate how our colleagues across the state are incorporating technology to engage students in their mathematics classes and research.
Student Activities
As usual, student activities are an integral part of the Spring meeting. Contributed talks by students are scheduled for both days. This year we hope to expand on the number of talks and activities for our student guests. We encourage our members to invite and bring students. There is NO registration fee for students.
Meet with Old and New Friends
There will be ample time to meet and greet old and new friends from around the state and compare notes. This is one of the major benefits of these meetings.
Display Area
Book publishers, including the MAA, will have displays in a large area devoted to browsing, breaks, and socializing.
