SUNY New Paltz is pleased to host the fourth annual Spuyten Duyvil Undergraduate Mathematics Conference. This one day conference will feature presentations by undergraduate students and faculty in mathematics and related disciplines. There will be concurrent panels on undergraduate research and careers in mathematics.

So, apparently I'm presenting a poster at this conference.
Here is the abstract Jackie and I submitted for our poster.
Abstract:
Quandles are of increasing interest to the mathematics community. However, there lacks a comprehensive forum for mathematicians to share their discoveries in this area. To open the lines of communication, we propose a dynamic digital library, QuanDLe, to support the storage and sharing of finite quandles. By providing a cache of discoveries and ideas, it will facilitate further progress in the field. QuanDLe will extend the success of Knot Atlas, MathWorld, and PlanetMath through semantic web technology. The technologies we will employ for QuanDLe include SWiM, OMDoc, OpenMath, MathML and Mathematica.
What we're going to say about this poster, better yet what this poster will have on it? No clue.
In other news, we will be writing a 1-4 page paper for a different conference in Canada, the Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics, ORCCA.
Workshop: DML
Paper: Short (1-4 pages)
Deadlines: Abstract on April 29, Paper on May 4
Subject: Overview of QuanDLe
Details: Utilize the Java/JSP-based SWiM semantic wiki for mathematics to get a prototype up and running. Place some quandles in there, take a few screen shots, add some prose.
I won't be attending this Canadian conference (granted our paper gets accepted at all) because i'll be in Iowa when it takes place over the summer.

Great. Are you going there with Bob and Jackie? Is it one day trip?
ReplyDeleteThe second conference would be great if you could get in and go. But i am not sure if you would even wanted to go. I don't know. I think you would not want to go if you could go, but would want to go when you can't go.
talk to you soon
