Chair's Report
Robert L. Johnson
Department of
Mathematics and computer Science
Augustana College
Rock Island, IL 61201
majohnson@augustana.edu
The University
of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana provided an exciting venue for our spring
meeting. Those who toured The Cave on Friday morning experienced virtual
hyperbolic space, inverting the sphere, some 3-D games, and a fascinating
inside view of the effects of traumatic brain injury.
Our featured
speakers included Polya Lecturer Georgia Benkart and College Mathematics
Journal Editor Underwood Dudley. Herb Lyon gave an assessor's view of
assessment while Theodore Gray presented an overview of the front end of
Mathematica.
Concurrent
sessions dealt with performance based assessment, standards for mathematics
education, technical illustration, and the changing face of actuarial science.
An excellent response to the call for papers resulted in three sessions devoted
to submitted papers and two similar sessions for student papers. A grant
writing workshop sponsored by the national MAA was a big hit with the
participants. In particular, our NExT fellows under the leadership of Lanette
Poteete-Young took advantage of the workshop and built it into their part of
the program.
Since my
professional orientation has always been slanted toward undergraduate education
I was particularly pleased with Patricia Kiihne's presentation directed
specifically to an undergraduate audience. I extend special thanks to her and
to all who are involved with encouraging undergraduate participation and
welcoming them at the meeting. Particular thanks to Jon Haverhals and his
continuing work as the director of student chapters.
Student papers
(10 - 15 minute presentations) continue to be an important part of our meeting
but, in my opinion, we should strive to dramatically increase the number of
these student presenters. Start thinking about the meeting at McKendree next
year and begin to identify and encourage your students to attend and present a short
paper. You might even think in terms of follow up presentations at Mathfest
next year. Incidentally, this summer Mathfest is reasonably local meeting from
August 2 through August 4 at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
The life of the
Illinois Section has been and continues to be intimately connected with the
committee work done by section member volunteers. Retiring committee members
include Iraj Kalantari, Dennis Schneider, and Michael Salisbury.
Directors-at-large Vicki Beitler, Teresa Friedman, and Herb Kasube are leaving
the board and Tom Bengtson turns over his role as program chair to Jim Olsen.
Special thanks to these dedicated volunteers and to retiring Chair Melvyn Jeter
and retiring past-chair Bob Hathaway.
Our retiring governor Larry Morley has been
instrumental in focusing attention on the general problem of college algebra.
If you are interested in any aspect of the college algebra question let Larry
or me know. He would be delighted for any input or volunteers for his ad hoc
committee.
At this writing
our new governor has not yet been announced but we welcome the newly elected
board members Andrew Leahy from Knox College, William Blair from Northern
Illinois University, Jimmie Lee Johnson from Roosevelt University, and Kevin
Hansen from Southwestern Illinois College. The section appreciates your
willingness to serve.
Information
about the committees, board members and our by-laws can be found on the
section's web page at http://ismaa.knox.edu. Our page is maintained by Scott
Harrod and one of the items for consideration at our next board meeting on
September 29 at Illinois Wesleyan will be the future of the newsletter as a
printed document vis-a˘-vis a web page item. Scott and Rich Wilders, the editor
of the newsletter, will be taking the lead in this discussion. Your input is
welcome and encouraged.
The Illinois
section does not have a formal committee on women in mathematics but many of
our members have been very active in this important national concern. A similar
concern exists for the underrepresented minorities in our discipline. Surely we
have folk in our section with the experience, knowledge, sensitivity, and
desire to tackle this issue. What is your experience here? Do you see a need
for some kind of focus group, action, plan, committee…? Share your thoughts by
sending me an e-mail.
You probably
have issues you would like the Illinois section to address. Tell a board
member, e-mail one of us, get involved and shape the direction of your section.
I hope to see
you at Mathfest this summer and certainly at our next ISMAA annual meeting on
April 5, 6, 2002 at McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois.

Message From the Governor
It is difficult to imagine that
my three-year term as Governor is ending this June. What happens to the TIME?
It has been a distinct honor and pleasure to serve as Governor of the
Illinois Section. My sincere thanks to
the membership of ISMAA for this opportunity.
Also, a special thank you to the ISMAA Board and Executive Officers for
the advice and counsel given on items of importance to the welfare of the
MAA. It has been my intention to keep
the Board and the membership at large aware of significant developments and
issues from the national perspective and to represent the position of the
Illinois Section in discussions and actions taken at the biannual Governor’s
meetings and in Committees.
I am pleased to report that the news from MAA Headquarters via
the Board of Governors is positive. The
financial picture for MAA continues to improve and this past year $175,000 that
had been borrowed from the Investment Fund during 1995/96 was transferred from
the Operating Fund back to the Investment Fund.
Dues income increased by 3 percent in FY 1999 as we did not
experience the decrease in membership as in the past few years. There were 3,460 new applications from
individuals and 37 new applications for institutional membership the first six
months of 2000. Currently we are
operating in the black and cash flow does not appear a problem.
It is an exciting time to be a part of the MAA! At the beginning of my term three years ago,
the MAA was experiencing some difficult and uncertain times financially. The wisdom of the leadership appears to have
turned things around and we now have an operating budget that adequately
supports those activities that have proven their worth over many years and that
enables us to initiate new programs to better serve an expanding and growing
membership. Perhaps the most significant
action taken by the Governors during my term was to approve and support the
inclusion of special interest groups (SIGMAAs) as a part of the MAA
organizational structure. The impact
these groups will have on attracting and retaining members will be something to
observe in the first decade of the new century.
The quantity and quality of MAA publications is at an all time
high. The quality and diversity found
in our workshops, mini courses, presentations and other events organized at
national and sectional meetings is exceptional! If you haven’t attended a meeting lately you should. MathFest August 2-4 is at the new Frank
Lloyd Wright Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin and will be
excellent. Check out the program at www.maa.org.
I have been a member of MAA since 1965 joining as a graduate
student at the University of Illinois.
Serving as Governor of the Illinois Section has been the highlight of
these past thirty-five years. I plan to
continue being active in MAA and hope that I may be able to make positive
contributions as we move forward to further the purposes of our organization
and profession. See you in Madison!

COMMENTS OF THE PAST CHAIR
Melvyn Jeter
Illinois Weslayan
University
My term as
Chair of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America ended
with the conclusion of the Business Meeting at the 80th annual meeting of the
ISMAA. At that time Robert Johnson
became the Chair and will serve a two-year term as such. I will continue as Past Chair and as the Chair
of your Nominating Committee. I would
like to thank the members of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical
Association of America for the opportunity that you afforded me to serve as
your Chair these past two years. I will
always cherish the pleasure, privilege, and experience that I enjoyed as your
Chair. I have worked with so many
outstanding people on the ISMAA Board of Directors, that it would difficult to
acknowledge all of them here. I am
happy to say that, in Robert Johnson, you have elected an outstanding new
Chair. As the Chair of the Nominating
Committee, I would appreciate any suggestions, recommendations, or comments
that you would care to make about the upcoming work of that committee next
year.
Section
Chairs, and other section officers, frequently attend Section Officers Meetings
at the winter and summer national MAA meetings. I believe that I have attended at least four of these
events. As I reflect back on those four
meetings, I am impressed by the manner in which those meetings have evolved
over the last two years. I recall that
two years ago the section officers had a substantial list of recommendations
and requests for the officers and staff of the national organization. At the summer meeting of 2000 and the winter
meeting of 2001, I was impressed by the extent to which the national office had
listened to us and responded with impressive action. Many of their actions will drastically enhance the MAA,
especially at the section level. You
have heard of some of these actions in past reports in your newsletter from
your section officers. I encourage you
to follow these developments and to let your section officers have the benefit
of your thinking about some of the innovative things that we will be able to do
in the future.
It is my
unofficial opinion that the meeting in New Orleans was one of the better
attended in recent years. I heard
unofficial estimates of attendance in the neighborhood of 5,000. Below, I will
attempt to give a brief overview, from my viewpoint, of the Section Officers
Meeting this last January in New Orleans.
The Section
Officers Meeting opened with a report on the activities of NExT. It was reported that recently State NExT
Fellows have been invited to National NExT Fellow activities. If that continues to work well, then the
policy will likely be continued. Also,
NExT will resume minicourse activities at Mathfest 2001. National NExT Fellows will be the first
chosen to attend these minicourses, but MAA hopes to include some Fellows from
the sections. At the section level, we
learned that Section NExTs needing funding can request financial help up to a
$5,000 total, including start-up costs.
At the national level, April 13, is the deadline for national
application for NEXT.
The CUPM
issues curriculum guidelines every ten years or so. In recent years, our institutions and student populations have
grown so diverse that it is no longer possible to suggest a single national
program. Instead, CUPM will try to
offer a number of example programs.
Also, a subcommittee on calculus has embarked on a huge project
involving a number of reports from different disciplines. This may have some influence on how all,
majors or not, are taught calculus.
This work will be made public on the web. Section involvement is welcomed. By summer, the MAA web page
should have interactive capability that should help individuals serve as
consultants for CUPM.
The
guidelines for section officers appear to have disappeared in the early
90's. However, the guidelines will be
available soon on the MAA web site.
David Stone invited input about items that should be included in those
guidelines.
The MAA is
now attempting to mail information about section activities to MAA members
living in a given section. This should
be a highly successful activity. MAA
hopes to make new members aware of each section's activities and the
opportunities available to them in each section. MAA would like to send out a letter of introduction from each
section to the new members of MAA living within the section. They would like to do this twice a year,
once in the fall and once in the spring.
The letters would have the section's logo and would be customized for
the section involved. This would not be
an effort to collect dues! It would
strictly be an effort to make the reader aware of what is available in the
section. Sections could still send
their own letters as well.
Tina Straley,
Executive Director, discussed one of the most dramatic and recent
accomplishments by MAA, the creation of the new MAA digital library. The Mathematical Association of America is
one of the first three professional societies selected and funded to do a
subject area for this NSF project. The
digital library has three essential components: a library of commercial projects,
a library of online materials, and the Journal of Online Mathematics and Its
Applications (JOMA). There is a world
of material online, but most of it is not rated. The software for this project is very promising and requires no
customizing.
We learned
that MAA has obtained $4,000,000 in external funding grants, that membership is
up, and that MAA published more books this year than ever before. I continue to be impressed by the
accomplishments of Tina Starley and the other members of the national organization.
One of the
discussions that I found most interesting at the New Orleans Section Officers
meeting was concerned with how individual sections distribute their newsletters
and programs of upcoming meetings to their members. Some sections are attempting to contain cost by modifying the
traditional manner in which they notify their members of section meetings and
by cutting the cost of mailing their newsletters. One section is considering sending a postcard reminding members
of upcoming meetings and telling them where to find the section newsletter
online, but not to publish such material in hard form. Another section tried something like this,
but found that they needed to send out a spring newsletter containing the
program for the upcoming section meeting.
One person suggested sending a card with the option of requesting a hard
copy by returning the card. Some
sections publish their newsletters only online in order to save the postage,
while other sections mail packages of newsletters to institutions, but not to
individuals. Some sections send large
batches of newsletters to the large schools in their sections and have the
schools distribute them. I believe they
still send newsletters to individuals not located at a large school. Some sections do online registration for
meetings. Others allow electronic
submissions for meeting presentations.
Some sections post their programs online as they develop. At least one section has a meeting report
after each meeting. Some sections attempt to financially support their
newsletters and programs by selling advertisements in their newsletters to
graduate schools, avoiding the issue of profit/nonprofit. However, nonprofit organizations can make
money, they just have to be careful how they handle the money they make. I would encourage each of you to make your
thoughts and concerns known to the members of the ISMAA Board or Directors
regarding the enhanced role that our web site should play in the future.

2001 American Mathematics Contest
Herb Kasube
Bradley University
The 2001 editions of the AMC - 10
and AMC - 12 are both history. Both
examinations were held on Tuesday February 13th.
The AMC -10 is
still in its infancy and word has it that its introduction has been very well
received. We have even had a few
elementary schools in Illinois participate in the AMC - 10 (after they has
already taken part in the AMC - 8 in the fall).
This year's top
scoring team and winner of the Gary Tippett Award is the Illinois Math and Science Academy.
They even had one student getting a perfect score. WOW!
This year's
USAMO Team will be defending its "Home Court" this summer. The International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO)
is being held in the United States for the first time since 1981. From July 1 through July 14, mathematics students from around the globe
will descend on Washington, DC.

MathFest 2001
One of Several MAA Short Courses this Coming Summer
Using Hands-on Devices to Understand Calculus
Concepts
Steve Monk
University of Washington, Seattle,
WA
August 7-11, 2001
This workshop will focus on the design of student
activities around physical and electronic devices, as a means of increasing
students' conceptual understanding of calculus. In the course of the workshop,
participants will: (1) work with a variety of devices to explore their
potential for deepening understanding, (2) examine videotapes and students
written work to become familiar with the conceptual and experiential resources
students bring to learning with such devices, (3) collaborate with one another
designing classroom activities around such devices, and (4) consider the
mathematical and the pedagogical issues that
arise for teachers and students in using this
approach. A limited number of devices will be available on loan to workshop
participants during the academic year. It is hoped that those attending the
workshop will continue to collaborate electronically on refinements of their
materials and that they will share with one another the results of trying them
out. A follow-up meeting of the group will be held at the Joint Mathematics
Meeting in San Diego on January 6-9, 2002. Instructors who work with future and
present high school teachers are particularly encouraged to attend.
