SIMIODE at The Joint Mathematics Meetings, Seattle WA USA, 6-10 January 2016

SIMIODE will have a strong presence at the JMM. Come join us at these events and activities and read about our work in our meeting flyer from your registration packet,

SIMIODE Exhibit Hall Booth
As we did at MathFest 2015 in Washington DC SIMIODE will host a booth in prime display territory in the Exhibit Hall, Booth 420. Stop by and register for chance to win a cool SIMIODE T-shirt, sample literature, and take home examples of Modeling Scenarios for colleagues. Better yet, bring along a colleague so we can help share the news.

SIMIODE Open House
We will host an Open House with tasty refreshments for attendees of JMM and there will be an announcement in the program for this event. We will have more opportunities to win a cool SIMIODE T-shirt. This will be a chance to network and meet others who are interested in teaching differential equations using modeling. We plan several discussion/focus group tables in which you can join the conversation to make SIMIODE a better offering.

Check out our calendar on the home page at www.simiode.org for more details.

About the author

Brian Winkel

Brian Winkel earned his degrees in mathematics (BS, MS, PhD) in 1964, 1967, and 1971, respectively, with his PhD from Indiana University in Noetherian Ring Theory. While teaching in his first position (liberal arts college Albion College, Albion MI USA) he developed an interest in applications of mathematics to biology and while teaching in an engineering setting (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute IN USA, United States Air Force Academy, USAFA CO USA, and United States Military Academy, West Point NY USA) he developed a strong interest in engineering applications of mathematics. With sabbatical experiences at Michigan Technological University, Houghton MI USA and Brown University, Providence RI USA he strengthened his commitment to teaching mathematics using applications to introduce and drive the learning process.

Along the way he founded and edited three journals Cryptologia (1977 - Present), Collegiate Microcomputer (1982-1993), and PRIMUS - Problems, Resources, and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies (1990 - Present).

Upon retirement from the United States Military Academy in spring 2011 he committed time, energy, and resources, and together with many very talented colleagues who possessed the same vision of teaching modeling first differential equations he founded SIMIODE.

Currently, Brian is a Co-PI of a National Science Foundation DUE-IUSE grant in support of SIMIODE Community of Practice, web space, workshops, and resource development and promotion.
