From: "JPBM Mathematics Awareness Week"Date: Wed, 10 Jul 1996 07:56:51 -0400 Subject: MAW 1997 July 10, 1996 TO: The Mathematics Community FROM: Richard Herman, Chair, Joint Policy Board for Mathematics Mike Harris, Kathleen Holmay, Public Information Office RE: Mathematics Awareness Week 1997 Theme & Dates To assist in your planning, be advised that Mathematics Awareness Week 1997 will be celebrated April 20-26, 1997. The Joint Policy Board for Mathematics has selected Mathematics and the Internet as the 1997 MAW theme. We expect this theme will be of wide national interest and could include such subjects as computer security and encryption, data mining, network analysis, information theory, and the availability of mathematical information on the world wide web and other technologies. We would like to have your reactions to these topics and suggestions for others. And, let us know about examples that could have appeal to the general public, as well as visuals that might be appropriate for the theme poster and the Mathematics Awareness Week web pages. ### ====================================================================== JPBM - Joint Policy Board for Mathematics - Mathematics Awareness Week April 20-26, 1997 - Theme: "Mathematics and the Internet" tel: 301-942-9595 - fax: 301-942-2777 - email: mawjpbm@deans.umd.edu world wide web URL: http://forum.swarthmore.edu/maw/ ======================================================================
