_______________________
We will support up to ten undergraduate students to join us for a week in Sarasota at New College of Florida to investigate questions related to the PascGalois project.
Participants will receive:
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
- Free room and board for the entire workshop
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
- up to $400 of travel reimbursement (perhaps more in certain cases)
|
 Our target audience is students interested in mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, and/or statistics. We hope to have a mix of students, including some who are familiar with the PascGalois project (perhaps have done some of our visualization exercises in their course work) and others who are seeing it for the first time at the retreat.
Participants will spend one week at New College working on undergraduate-level research projects with Michael Bardzell (Salisbury University-SU), Kathleen Shannon (SU), Eirini Poimenidou (New College) and former undergraduate research student, Nicole Miller (Virginia Tech), who has presented and published work related to the project. Participants will attend short lectures on topics related to the project and will be given ample time for exploration and group work with other students. We will also arrange for outings to explore the area and social events.
Travel Dates
We will provide housing for arrival on Sunday June 4th and departure on Saturday June 10th, 2006.
