I can't believe the AMATYC conference is upon us finally!
Many of us here in Atlanta and DeKalb College have been working for two
years to make this conference a wonderful experience for y'all.
I'd like to issue a welcome to those of you who will be packing your
bags to come South later this week. The weather looks mild and you'll be
able to enjoy the end of our splendid autumn.
There are 1300 conference participants registered at the Hyatt. The
overflow hotels are near capacity too. This will be the biggest AMATYC
conference and hopefully the best.
Please consider coming by the Hospitality Room sometime during the
conference. GMATYC is hosting this special attraction. Computers
in the room will have web access and certain software will be
available including Mathematica, Mathcad, EXP, Maple, Converge and
Fractint. You'll be able to make copies, check your e-mail and hear experts
speak on many topics. Below is the schedule of special topics to be
addressed in the Hospitality Room:
Thursday 2-5 pm Web Resources
7-9 pm Open discussion
Friday 10-12 Statistics
2-5 pm Developmental Studies Reform and Labs
Saturday 10:30-12:30 On-line courses
2-5 pm Entry level math
7-9 pm Open discussion
Please consider this a place to hang out and hear some great stuff!
Those of us on the steering committee will be donned in special AMATYC
denim vests and GMATYC participants will be wearing peaches on their name
tags. Direct any questions to us!
And don't forget to enjoy the Friday night social at which time we'll bus
you to the World of Coco-Cola museum and a reception at a wonderful
restored authentic train depot. Maybe some of us Math List folks as get
together and meet each other at this time.
It's going to be great!!! I look forward to meeting many of you there.
Sallie
