Goucher College
Math Awareness Week at Goucher College will be celebrated in a variety of
ways. There will be a display case in the library showcasing
many examples of the decision making process in everyday life, from using
computers to assist in making medical decisions to Goucher's student
team entry into this year's Mathematical Contest in Modeling. The
newspaper will carry an article describing the activities of Math
Awareness Week on campus which include displays and films available all
week in a student lounge. The highlight of the week will be the Annual
Torrey Dinner where awards are traditionally presented to the most
outstanding mathematics and computer science students. In addition, an
award is given to the winner of the Annual Writing Prize competition
which was held in March. The prize is awarded to the student who is
judged to have written the clearest solution to a problem. The contest
was open to all Goucher students. At the dinner, a Goucher graduate will
speak about her role in the mathematics education profession and what challenges lie ahead for her personally
and for society with respect to education.
