Subject: FW: Mathematica on Campus - 2nd Session
Last week I sent out an announcement about a special presentation by Wolfram, makers of Mathematica. Based on requests, we've schedule a 2nd presentation that same day so that more people can attend the event. See updated information below. – Verne
Mathematica Presentation 11/13
Wolfram be on campus giving a technical seminar on utilizing Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and other Wolfram technologies for teaching and research in November.
Our Wolfram rep, Andy Dorsett will begin with a technical overview of Mathematica, as well as briefly touching on the creation of Wolfram|Alpha. Next, we can discuss emerging trends in technology and what is currently available (or being developed) to support those trends. Then, to give you a sense of what's possible, I'll discuss how other organizations use these tools for teaching and research.

AMC 8 Test & Seminar & Army Special Operations Semi
on Saturday, November 21
at Wright State University
Last year, the Greater Miami Valley Math Circle (GMVMC) offered the American Mathematics Contest (AMC) 8th Grade Test from the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) only to the students enrolled in our GMVMC. This year, we want to offer the opportunity to every (8th-grade and under) student in the Greater Miami Valley area.
The test will be given on Saturday, November 21 at 10:30am in the Mathematical and Microbiological Sciences (MM) building. Check-in will begin at 9:30am. There will be a $5.00 test fee for each student. Due to the organizer’s requirement to submit ordering the number of exam packets by November 2nd, the formal registration is now closed. But for late comers, we have ordered extra Test packets. If you missed to register but are interested in having your children to take the test, please register online at http://iis.stat.wright.edu/GMVMC.High/Events/default.html. After registering online, to complete the registration, you must mail ASAP $5.00 check, payable to GMVMC, to this address:

Dayton, OH 45431
This late application will be accepted by first-come-first-served basis on your registration records on the website.

Since a serious shortage in manpower in STEM fields in Ohio (even in the Greater Miami Valley), WSU Army ROTC (AROTC) is supporting our efforts of hosting AMC 8 Test this November and the Ohio Mathematics Contest (OMC) in April 9th in 2016 as well as the Executive Director of the Advanced Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) will give a seminar to parents. Especially, the AROTC will bring its semitrailer (see its picture below) with modern STEM technology information in it.
Seminar Presented by Cassie Barlow, Executive Director of ATIC
(Free and Open to the Public)
STEM Careers in Ohio
10:30 – 11:20 am
152 MM building at Wright State University
Dr. Cassie Barlow will discuss the importance of STEM careers in the State of Ohio and the Miami Valley.
She will also discuss the many pathways to STEM Careers and will talk about the demand
for the STEM workforce currently and in the future.
Soliciting volunteers to augment manpower on running Greater Miami Valley Computer Science Circle
As is known by the blurb copied above, the Greater Miami Valley Math Circle is running very well with three different levels of classes since it was founded in September 2014. Beyond this success, we kicked off last September the Greater Miami Valley Computer Science Circle with only one class of students in high schools and upper-level middle schools. On announcing its organizational meeting in September and the first class held on October 3rd (see its flyer copied below), there are more than 30 students registered in its Circle now. But they are coming from wide ranges of grade levels and with various computing knowledge and skills. This causes much difficulty in running the classes smooth and in appropriate levels and forces us to think splitting the class into at least two groups of different levels in the Spring Semester. We are however facing deep shortage in manpower for doing so. If each volunteer gives two lectures in their own special areas and then we need at least EIGHT instructors in each semester. Currently there are four volunteer instructors. We thus are looking for more volunteers.
Please email me(mseoh@siscom.net) if you are interested in becoming volunteer instructors and then I (or other Board members) will communicate with you personally to find out what could be done.
