Congratulations to Monmouth Univeristy for hosting a successful
Fall 2024 MAA-NJ ection meeting.
Here the Fall 2024
MAA-NJ Meeting Program
The
2024 MAA Congress Report presented by Paul von Dohlen
Plan ahead for the Spring 2025 MAA-NJ Meeting:
Toward the end of winter this year we will be seeking abstracts for review for
the General Contributed Paper Sessions (GCPS),
for the Spring 2025 MAA-NJ
meeting at Rowan College at Burlington County.
The paper may focus on any aspect of mathematics. Examples
include expository
mathematics, connections within mathematics or between mathematics
and other
disciplines, the undergraduate mathematics
curriculum, diversity, equity, inclusion
in mathematics, social justice in the
classroom, teaching, data analysis, or mathematical
pedagogy.
The CPS committee seeks
and encourages proposals that will contribute toward a
well-balanced and scholarly program that represents the MAA's mission.
MAA Code of Conduct
The Mathematical Association of America is committed to maintaining the highest standards
of conduct and ethical behavior and promotes a working environment that values respect,
fairness and integrity.
The MAA's 2022 Impact Report is now available.
Polyplane - Exploring the Natural Laws of Shape
Alex Kontorovich and Glen Whitney are producing a compact traveling art/science
exhibition celebrating the beauty and structure of three-dimensional shapes.
Visitors will wander along a constellation of diverse geometric forms, each
precisely placed according to its numbers of sides, edges, and corners. From
this placement, a natural law that has informed centuries of human inquiry
becomes manifest: the Euler Polyhedron Formula.
