The Fall 2009 Meeting of the Southern California-Nevada Section of the MAA will feature three exceptional speakers on three exciting mathematical topics: :
- Jason Rosenhouse, James Madison University, who "wrote the book" on the Monty Hall Problem, revisits the famous problem;
- Distinguished Teaching Award Winner Curtis Bennett, Loyola Marymount University, explains Thurston's simple yet elegant model of hyperbolic space; and
- World-renowned applied mathematician Andrea Bertozzi, UCLA, explains how to model the natural phenomenon of swarming.
The meeting also will feature a Contributed Paper Session with presentations by both faculty and students organized by Min-Lin Lo of Cal State San Bernardino, and a workshop on the MAA Mathematical Sciences Digital Library (MathDL), led by Bruce Yoshiwara of Pierce College, Janet Beery of the University of Redlands, Robert Baker of University High School, and Kirby Baker of UCLA.
The MAA Book Sale, offered throughout the day by Michael Hoffman and Richard Katz of Cal State Los Angeles, will have a large selection of new MAA books, along with almost all of the other titles in the MAA booklist.
See you at Cal State San Bernardino!
