Extractions: Lecture courses were given in 1995 on applied mathematics and computer science in three levels for undergraduate students. Topics of the courses were programming in C and in Fortran, applications for microcomputers, operating systems, numerical methods, optimization methods, graphical interfaces, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, mathematical algorithms, numerical solution of partial differential equations (the finite element method), simulation, convex analysis, control theory and digital image processing. Several new courses in telecommunications were started. The main subjects provided for the students are scientific computing, telecommunications and software engineering. A part of the courses for undergraduate and graduate students were given in English by foreign visitors. Professor M. Rudnicki talked about genetic and neural computing, professor C.A. Marinov about signal processing and professor Yu.A. Kuznetsov lectured about substructuring preconditioners for elliptic FE-problems on nonmatching grids. 3.2 Postgraduate Teaching

Extractions: The PIMMS offices are located on the campus of Wesleyan University in a house originally built in downtown Middletown circa 1750. It was moved to its current location at 178 Cross Street in the early 1800s. History In 1979, Robert A. Rosenbaum, a professor of mathematics at Wesleyan University, convened a group of citizens who were concerned about the quality of mathematics education in CT. These meetings included mathematics teachers and faculty from the public school, community college, and university levels, school administrators, and representatives of business and industry. Their collaboration resulted in the formation of the Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics (PIMM). PIMMS ( Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics and Science ) began in 1983 when the organizationÂ’s scope was broadened to include science. In the summer of 1984, the first of a continuing series of summer Fellowship programs for teachers was conducted. These two-summer, multi-week institutes are designed to increase the content background of participants, to provide them with new teaching strategies, including the use of technology, and to develop their leadership capabilities so they can extend the impact of their PIMMS experience to their colleagues and educators statewide.

Read This: Fractals And Chaos The MAA Online book review column review of fractals and chaos The Mandelbrot Set and Beyond, She is also interested in the teaching of mathematics. http://www.maa.org/reviews/fractalsandchaos.html
Extractions: by Benoit B. Mandelbrot This book contains early papers by Benoit Mandelbrot, as well as additional chapters describing the historical background and context. The material is grouped under five topics: Most of the papers included have been published before, beginning with the early 1980s until 2003, but there a few new ones. The work included in this book, "Selecta Volume C" was done by Mandelbrot while he was working at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center and at Yale University. The book is dedicated to the memory of the author's uncle, Szolem Mandelbrojt, himself a mathematician who greatly influenced his nephew Benoit. The book also includes many illustrations, some of them very easily recognizable. In his Foreword , Professor Peter W. Jones of Yale University notes: "It is only twenty-three years since Benoit Mandelbrot published his famous picture of what is now called the Mandelbrot set. The graphics available at that time seem primitive today, and Mandelbrot's working drafts were even harder to interpret. But how that picture has changed our views of the mathematical and physical universe!" And later: "What we see in this book is a glimpse of how Mandelbrot helped change our way of looking at the world. It is not just a book about a particular class of problems; it also contains a view on how to approach the mathematical and physical universe."
