Last year the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences
established a new recognition for faculty and staff – The Eberly College Legacy
Award. This award honors those who have made significant contributions to
the Eberly College and its mission of liberal arts education. The
recipients efforts have epitomized the highest values and standards of
professionalism and all those who have worked with them are better for it.
Ryan Hansen, an instructor in the Department of Mathematics, is combining 3D
printed manipulatives with custom crafted active learning activities to excite,
explain and interest students in the mathematics that they are learning (and also
in 3D printing).
There was a great turnout at the Actuarial Club semester
kickoff meeting on Sept. 20! Students from different majors (engineering,
computer science, physics, finance, marketing, math) got together and shared
their interest in actuarial science. Club officers who passed one or two
actuarial exams shared their exam preparation tips with newcomers.
Testimonios is a new publication by MAA/AMS edited by Pamela E. Harris, Alicia
Prieto-Langarica, Vanessa Rivera Quiñones, Luis Sordo Vieira, Rosaura
Uscanga, and Andrés R. Vindas Meléndez and illustrated by Ana
Valle. It brings together first-person narratives from the vibrant, diverse,
and complex Latinx and Hispanic mathematical community. Starting with childhood
and family, the authors recount their own particular stories, highlighting
their upbringing, education, and career paths. Testimonios seeks
to inspire the next generation of Latinx and Hispanic mathematicians by
featuring the stories of people like them, holding a mirror up to our own
community. The entire collection of 27 testimonios is available for purchase at the AMS Bookstore.
MAA and AMS members can access this e-book for free through their respective
member libraries (MAA | AMS).
