Florida Two-Year College Mathematics Association

February 17-18, 2006
 
The 2006 Joint Annual Meetings will bring together Florida’s dedicated mathematicians, professional and non-professional, for a weekend of exciting lectures, talks, and discussions on a variety of mathematical topics.

The plenary speakers for the conference will be Underwood Dudley, Steve Dunbar, Hans-Dietrich Gronau, and James Tanton.

Underwood Dudley is a native of New York City, was an undergraduate at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and was given a Ph.D. degree by the University of Michigan in 1965.  After teaching in Ohio and Indiana for thirty-nine years, he saw the light and moved to Florida.  He has edited the College Mathematics Journal, written four books, and is proud of having an Erdos number of 1.  For more information, visit http://www.maa.org.

Steve Dunbar received a bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of Nebraska, doctorate at the University of Minnesota in 1981, and returned to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1985.  His research interests are in nonlinear differential equations and applications of mathematics in all areas.  In 2001, Professor Dunbar was appointed as Director of the American Mathematics Competitions.  For more information, visit http://www.math.unl.edu/~sdunbar/.

Hans-Dietrich Gronau, President of Mathematik-Olympiaden e.V. and German IMO Team Leader, will give a talk on Mathematical Olympiads - International and National.  He will also be one of the presenters during the Special Session on Problem Solving.  For more information, visit http://www.mathematik-olympiaden.de/.

James Tanton, after receiving his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1994, followed the usual track of Visiting/Assistant/Associate Professor at three different institutions New College of the University of South Florida, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and Merrimack College.  However, he was soon lured away by the joys of interacting with, teaching, being taught by, and publishing research articles with younger students, K – 12, at the Boston-based Math Circle.  During those three years, Dr. Tanton also worked as a consultant for various teacher-training programs and college and secondary text-book editors, all under the pretext that he actually knew something about the state of secondary-level mathematics education.  He didn’t.  He eventually decided to try practicing what he preached by heading into the secondary scene.  Dr. Tanton worked at Milton Academy for a short stint and now finds himself to be a regular high-school teacher at St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Massachusetts.  He has never worked harder in any aspect of his mathematical career and is still in a state of shock over what he is really learning about life as a high-school math teacher.  And just to keep sanity completely out of reach, Dr. Tanton is also the founding director of a new Institute of Mathematics at St. Mark’s School.  For more information, visit http://www.stmarksschool.org/smtoday/math/.

In addition to these four distinguished plenary speakers, there will be invited talks by some of the state’s leading mathematics professionals as well as student presentations.

Other events include:

bulletFTYCMA Annual Business Meeting and Luncheon, Friday
bulletConference Banquet and Awards Ceremony, Friday

3:00-3:45 Contributed Paper Sessions
AD 204 Integration as an Averaging Process
Mark E. Rupright, Florida Atlantic University - Honors College
Abstract:  The definition of the average value of a function in terms of the integral is presented in introductory calculus courses, but often without examples of how this relationship is useful. I will present a number of examples where the relationship between integration and averaging proves useful in teaching concepts in physics and numerical computing.
AD 205 Enhance and Improve Your Teaching/Learning Environment with MERLOT Mathematics

5:00-5:50
AD 119
Plenary Session
The MAA American Mathematics Competitions:  Easy Problems, Hard Problems, History, and Outcomes
Steve Dunbar, University of Nebraska
Director of the American Mathematics Competitions
Abstract:  The MAA has continuously sponsored nationwide high-school level math contests since 1952. The sequence of contests now spans 5 different contests at increasing levels of mathematical sophistication. Students who succeed at the top level on these contests become the team representing the U.S. at the annual International Mathematical Olympiad. I'll survey the history and organization of the contests, along with the outcomes and some notable mathematicians whose early indications of talent came on these contests. I'll comment about the intersection of these contests with the school mathematics curriculum. Along the way, I'll showcase some interesting, easy, and hard mathematical problems from these contests.
7:40-8:30

President of Mathematik-Olympiaden e.V. and German IMO Team Leader
Abstract:  I will give a survey on IMOs with many statistics (several new ones), experiences (the IMO 2005 was my 20th), including short videos. I will also give a short survey on the German competitions. A few special IMO problems will be discussed in detail.

 

Saturday, February 18, 2006
9:00-9:45 Contributed Paper Sessions
AD 204 Complex Relationships Among Coefficients, Zeros, and Critical Points
Lubomir P. Markov, Barry University
Abstract:  The theorems of Descartes and Rolle rank among the most beautiful accomplishments of classical polynomial theory and calculus of functions of a real variable. There are many interesting generalizations and results of similar nature that are not as well known as they deserve to be. Our talk will address some of them.
AD 205 The Significant Yet Overlooked Role of Personality in the Mathematics Classroom
Craig D. Hardesty, Manatee Community College
Abstract:  Results of personal research regarding personality types of math teachers and math students will be presented. Significant differences and similarities will be discussed as well as how teachers can apply this knowledge to increase success in the classroom.
AD 206 The Student Portfolio - Accepting Responsibility to Learn
Julie Miller & Molly O'Neill, Daytona Beach Community College
Abstract:  Help your students organize course materials and accept responsibility for their own learning. The student portfolio provides a structured approach to homework, vocabulary, and testing, while guiding students to an honest self-assessment of their effort.
AD 102
(Special Session on Problem Solving)
Conducting a Problem of the Week Contest by Email
Patrick Bibby, Miami Dade College
Abstract:  Every major semester since January 2005, the Miami Dade Kendall Campus Mathematics Department has been conducting a problem-of-the-week contest. This contest is unique in that it is conducted by email. The presenter will provide a rationale for such a contest, rules, format, problem archives, and sources for problems, results, and suggestions for conducting such a contest.
10:00-10:45 Contributed Paper Sessions
AD 204 Fascinating Mathematics Problems and Their Solutions
Scott Hochwald, University of North Florida
Abstract:  The problems primarily come from number theory, calculus, linear algebra, and geometry.  Three examples are followed by a link to all the problems.
 
  1. Find all positive integer solutions to
  .
  1. If A and B are n x n matrices, prove AB and BA have the same eigenvalues.
  2. Does the sum of the reciprocals of the primes converge?

http://www.unf.edu/coas/math-stat/funfacts/MAA2006abstract.doc

AD 205 Engaging Your Students and Helping Them to Become Rocket Scientists (OK...maybe just passing the class will do!)
Jana Bryant, Nancy Johnson, & Mike Mears, Manatee Community College
Abstract:  Studies have shown that students who attend class end up with better grades.  While attendance is important, we believe having activities that help engage students in the learning process will actually have more of an effect on the final outcome.  The presenters will share some ideas for classroom use and allow attendees to participate.
AD 206
(20-minute Student Presentations)
Rings in Automated Proof
Robert Lamar, Stetson University
Abstract:  The formalization of mathematics in computer proof systems relies on much rigor for its survival.  One proof system is Isabelle, a proof assistant built on the ML programming language. Within the framework of Isabelle, ring theory is developed and shown to be consistent with classical ring theory from abstract algebra.

Foundations for Number Analysis
Martin Storm, Stetson University
Abstract:  Recently, a new number-theoretic analogue to the standard calculus derivative was defined in a paper by Linda Westrick. The number derivative of a positive integer depends on its prime-decomposition. This paper is a continued study of the number derivative with an emphasis on results mirroring classical calculus.

AD 102
(Special Session on Problem Solving)
A Viewpoint on Problem Solving
Stephen C. Locke, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract:  We look at the solution and construction of mathematical problems, interspersed with a few comments about problem solving in general.
11:00-11:45 Contributed Paper Sessions
AD 204 Minimal Representations of Non-well-founded Sets
Taje Ramsamujh, Florida International University
Abstract:  Minimal representations of Scott & Finsler pseudo-sets are obtained by using transfinite algorithms on their unfolded trees &  directed trees, respectively. Two pseudo-sets will be equal iff their minimal representations are isomorphic. This extends earlier work on Aczel pseudo-sets and enable us to count the three kinds of hereditarily finite pseudo-sets.
AD 205 Concept Mapping in Algebra I
Matt Campese, Sandalwood High School; Della Caldwell, Nease High School; &
Bill Caldwell, University of North Florida
Abstract:  A team of high school mathematics teachers and UNF mathematics faculty is developing an analysis of high school Algebra I (Beginning Algebra in the community colleges). The analysis begins with constructing a set of expert “Concept Maps” describing the course.  The process, the software used, and some of the maps that have been developed will be presented.
AD 206 Discriminants and Polynomials
Sam Sakmar, University of South Florida
Abstract:  We view the discriminants of the polynomials from two different perspectives, analyze them and try to bring them in agreement.
AD 102
(Special Session on Problem Solving)
Some Sets Based on Lucas's Theorem and Some Recent Work of George Andrews
Shanzhen Gao, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract:  Let p be a prime number.  We will discuss the sets

12:00-12:50
AD 119
Plenary Session
More than a Dozen Proofs that 1=2:  A Misguided Review of all of Mathematics
James Tanton, St. Mark's School
MAA Beckenbach Book Prize Winner
Abstract:  Guidobaldo del Monte (1545 – 1647), a patron and friend of Galileo Galilei, believed he had witnessed the creation of something out of nothing when he established mathematically that zero equals one. He thereby thought that he had proven the existence of God! Although I daren’t be so bold with my claims, I am willing to prove instead that one equals two. And moreover, just to convince you that I am right, I will do so multiple times over, drawing upon a wide spectrum of mathematical techniques, from algebra and arithmetic, to probability theory, calculus, mechanics, propositional logic, and more! Will you be able to find fault with any of my “proofs?”
