Precautionary tale for any of my #MathSky and #ITeachMath friends heading to the #AMATYC conference this month. Please be careful, and take care of yourselves! 😷
Well, friends, after six years of both vigilance and luck, I dropped my guard a little bit for a conference and paid for it with my first-ever Covid infection.

The AMATYC conference
Hmm. Only two folks on Bluesky have used AMATYC in a post recently. Of course that is two more than used it on Mastodon last year.

Currently looking at the AMATYC program to see exactly what I said I would present on next week...
Apparently I'm on the hook for:
- Sparking Curiosity Through Course Design
- Teaching Statistics Students About Accessibility
- The Math of SET
- Title Forthcoming

I'm curious to see it. Luke Walsh did a presentation at AMATYC several years back where he envisioned the coordinate plane shifting rather than the function - it was really interesting.
He even had a Desmos activity with a picnic tablecloth that moved around IIRC.

In this highly instructive article, Dan Douglas (now an Assoc Prof at Massey University in New Zealand) uses research in corequisite #math remediation to teach us about different kinds of evidence & how it shows that coreq is better than prereq remediation: buff.ly/6Syk7sv #AcademicSky #highered

Oh wait I am in charge of organizing a "sharing session" for my special interest group at next year's AMATYC conference. I have a GREAT idea for what we can share!
VERY IMPORTANT IDEA: the next academic conference I attend should have a "tea exchange" where we all just bring a bunch of our favorite tea, try each others, and then everyone leaves with some new tea that they liked.
This is unironically a 10/10 networking idea and I'm not too humble to admit it.

I am proud of myself for finding the parts of this conference to be optimistic about. Heading home now, but it was lovely to see my AMATYC friends
Fair warning, I'm heading off to a conference which means there's a 50/50 chance of my next bunch of posts being optimistic and happy about math/teaching friends or violently angry about how people are trying to put AI and surveillance tech into more math classrooms.

The AMATYC conference in November will have at least one good talk!

Why are these organizations so excited to produce garbage in the name of math education??? 😭
This sure does "say a lot about where math education stands today," and it's very depressing!

Lol well at least it prepped you for recognizing me at AMATYC, instead of looking for a cross stitched man

Excited to co-host the 2026 Modernizing Undergraduate Math Summit at Harvard next week with MAA, AMATYC, ASA, and SIAM.
Leaders across higher ed will collaborate on the future of undergraduate mathematics in an AI-driven world.

At Cleveland Airport on my way to Atlanta for AMATYC!
Cümə axşamı, riyazziyat konfransı üçün Atlantaya səyahət etdim. Valideynlərim də konfransda idi! Konfrans dostlarımla riyazziyat dərsləri haqqında danişdıq (& damdakı basketbol meydançasını axtardıq, dostum uşaqları üçün şəkil çəkdi 😂). Indi evimə qayıtıram.
Yaxşı yol AMATYC dostlarım!

#MathsToday: gave an #AMATYC talk about building information processing & evaluation skills in stats & data sci courses, and went to good sessions about teaching processes for checking work and teaching calc with support!
(Also had an adventure involving strange staircases and pickleball courts.)

Sabah qeyri iş günüdür, amma işləməliyəm. AMATYC təqdimatımı edecəm, və çərşənbə axşamı və çərşənbə dərslərini hazırlayacam.
Amma həm də fiqurlu konkisürməyə baxacam və tikəcəm.
