> ================================================================
> Call for Proposals on Mathematics Education in Universities
> International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME-9)
>
> The ninth International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME-9)
> will be held in Tokyo/Makuhari, Japan, July 31-August 6, 2000.
> Web site: <http://www.ma.kagu.sut.ac.jp/~icme-9/index.html>
>
> By this announcement we invite inquiries and proposals for
> contributions to the Working Group for Action 5 (WGA5) of ICME-9
> on "Mathematics Education in Universities." This working group will
> have three or four two-hour sessions during the Congress for the
> purpose of working and thinking together about broad and systemic
> issues in university mathematics education.
>
> WGA5 is intended to be a forum for exchanging ideas and promoting further
> communication about university mathematics education among individuals
> from different nations of the world in order to identify existing issues
> and search for resolutions. Thus most of the time of the Working Group
> will be devoted to discussion, not to lectures or presentation of papers.
>
> To facilitate planning, we invite suggestions and proposals from
potential
> participants. In particular, we seek proposals for national reports that
> survey, for a particular country, important issues facing university
> mathematics education such as changes in students, teaching, or
> curriculum; impact of textbooks, tests, technology; and government
> policy, hiring, and funding. We also welcome other proposals for brief
> presentations that may be appropriate for discussion in the Working
Group.
>
> (Note: Many special topics such as teacher preparation, two-year
> colleges, and technology are the subject of other Working Groups. Also,
> since English is the official language of the Congress, all presentations
> and discussion in WGA5 will be in English.)
>
> Please send inquiries and proposals by e-mail to both of the
co-organizers
> of WGA5 named below:
>
> Lynn Arthur Steen <steen@stolaf.edu>
> Department of Mathematics, St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN 55057, USA.
>
> Qi-xiao Ye <yeqx@sun.ihep.ac.cn>
> Department of Applied Mathematics, Beijing Institute of Technology,
> P. O. Box 327, Beijing 100081, China.
>
> Associate Organizers for WGA5 are:
> * Derek Holton <dholton@maths.otago.ac.nz> of New Zealand
> * Urs Kirchgraber <kirchgra@math.ethz.ch> of Switzerland
> * Tatyana Olejnik <olejnik@pu.ac.kharkov.ua> of Ukraine
> * Neela Sukthankar <sukthankar@yahoo.com> of Papua New Guinea
