The Eleventh International Conference on Mathematics and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries was held in Laos earlier this month. Its six plenary speakers included Michael Dorff (president of the Mathematical Association of America), Kenji Ueno (a well-known Japanese algebraic geometer), and the Cofc Math Department’s combinatoricist Dinesh Sarvate!
We just learned about an interesting event this weekend (Sept 23). Ken Ono of Emory University will be at Davidson College speaking about Ramanujan and showing the major motion picture “The Man Who Knew Infinity”. https://www.davidson.edu/academics/mathematics-and-computer-science/student-activities/bernard-lecture

CofC professors are not just teachers but also practitioners of their fields. Our students learn history from historians, psychology from psychologists, math from mathematicians, and so on. Not only does this guarantee that the instructors are experts with practical knowledge of their discipline, it also means that undergraduates here have a rare opportunity to work […]

Some mathematics research can take a long time — decades if not centuries — to be used in an application. One of the amazing thing about Svitlana Maybroroda’s recent work on the mathematics of waves is that it is already being applied to improving the efficiency of LED lighting. Read about her work and its […]
