Alumni Appreciation Day - September 25, 2009The Mathematics Department is pleased to welcome Dr. Karen Brucks (PhD, 1988) back to campus on September 24th and 25th. As part of the Alumni Appreciation Day activities in the math department, Dr. Brucks will give a Millican Collloquium. More details may be found on the Millican webpage, http://www.math.unt.edu/seminars/millican.shtml . Welcome Fall 2009 New Faculty MembersDr. Matthew Dulock Earned his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Houston in 2008. He will be teaching Abstract Algebra and Calculus in Fall 2009. Dr. John Krueger Earned his PhD in Mathematical Sciences in 2003 from Carnegie Mellon University. He is coming to UNT from the University of California, Berkeley where he had been employed as a post-doc since 2006 Dr. Krueger's research specialty is logic and set theory. Dr. Farmer Schlutzenberg Earned his PhD in Mathematics in 2007 from the University of California. His research specialty is logic and foundations. Dr. Wayne Zimmermann Earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Texas. He is returning to active duty after retiring as a professor of mathematics and computer science at TWU in 2008. He will be teaching Discrete Math and Introduction to Probability in Fall 2009. Core AcademyThe department also welcomes Marc Grether back to UNT. Marc joins UNT as a continuing lecturer and the first faculty member to be a part of the UNT Core Academy. The Core Academy will house faculty members devoted to the development and instruction of core curriculum courses and interested in developing innovative delivery of these courses. Marc will be continuing the development of Math 1580 (Survey of Mathematics with Applications), a new general interest mathematics course at UNT intended for arts and humanities students that teaches mathematical thought and appreciation, problem solving skills, and practical applications of mathematics to topics such as personal finance, but which does not stress technical computational proficiency. Spring 2009 ConferencesThe
Mathematics Department is pleased to host two conferences in Spring 2009.
Teach North TexasTeach
North Texas (TNT), a collaborative effort between the College of Arts and
Sciences and the College of Education, is a new program for undergraduate
math, science and computer science majors obtaining teaching
certification. One of the features of TNT is the opportunity for
students to explore the teaching profession in two free one-hour courses that
can be taken as early as their freshman year. Once in the program, students
will take courses in the professional development sequence that emphasize
field experiences, teaching strategies and concepts related specifically to
the subjects the students will teach. For more informaton, see the TNT
website http://www.tnt.unt.edu/. Math Quest CenterThe MathQuest
Center is an exciting place where UNT students can go to work on their
math courses. Through access to state-of-the-art technology, students can
master mathematics at their own pace. While they will be working with
MyMathLabTM, a computer-assisted learning
platform, human assistance is just a "red cup" away! |
