TCNJ Professors Make Many Contributions to Mathematics Community

The Mathematical Association of America, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Sciences, and the Institute for Advanced Study are among the professional mathematics groups in which TCNJ professors are making significant contributions, which ultimately benefit students.

The Mathematical Association of America continues to receive many presentations and services.  Drs. Tom Hagedorn and Karen Clark will participate in a panel on "Webwork, a Web Based Interactive Homework System" at the Summer 2006 Meeting in Knoxville, TN in August. Dr. Hagedorn was invited to speak at New Jersey City University on April 20 as part of the"Math Awareness Day" of that institution.  His talk was entitled "Da Visa Code:  The Mathematics of Internet Security". Also, Dr. Hagedorn will be the conference director for the 4th annual Garden State Undergraduate Mathematics Conference in Spring 2007. Dr. Clark has accepted a second three year term as treasurer of the New Jersey section of the MAA. 

Dr. Cindy Curtis- Budka will be a participant this summer in the Institute for Advanced Study/Park City research program.  This program will focus on Low-Dimensional Topology.  Dr. Chamont Wang will present a paper at the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Sciences meeting on Data Mining this summer at Rutgers University.
