Computer Maths: Curiosity, Art, Story! The First International Conference on Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication

This is an invitation to the First International Conference on Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication, Computer Maths: Curiosity, Art, Story!

The International Conference on Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication: Online Event (CMSC\u2720) and CMSC\u2721

You are warmly invited to register now for the 5th International Conference on Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication (CMSC’21) which will be held at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, 2–6 July, 2021. The International Conference on Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication (CMSC) is a unique gathering of computer scientists and mathematicians, teachers, musicians, dancers, dramatists, game designers, educators and communicators of all sorts. Due to the pandemic, the in-person event scheduled for 2020 has been post- poned and a short CMSC Online Event was organized as a “teaser” or trailer in order to feel the spirit of the full 5th CMSC 2021. See the website at https://cmsc.wmi.amu.edu.pl for the recording

CMSC 2018: 4th Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication Conference

Join scientists, researchers, teachers, and artists in developing new ways of communicating mathematical and computational thinking. Welcome are contributions in art forms such as dance, graphic art, theatre, and the myriad of ways to communicate science to the public. The conference will feature keynote talks by leading researchers and communicators in the mathematical sciences, sharing their experience, new initiatives, and ideas. The conference will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, at The Learning Connexion (TLC) on 21--23 July 2018. The conference website is http://www.cmsc.nz

Patterns of Emotion Within Mathematics Problem-Solving

There is often a divide between the experience of positive emotions toward math on the part of mathematical educators and negative emotions toward math on the part of students. This paper utilizes psychologist Richard Lazarus\u27s work on the effects of positive emotions in order to highlight their benefits for mathematical pedagogy, to explain the author\u27s experiment applying Lazarus\u27s theory, and to suggest ways this application might support and foster positive emotions in students

On Complexity of Lobbying in Multiple Referenda

In this paper we show that lobbying in conditions of “direct democracy” is virtually impossible, even in conditions of complete information about voters preferences, since it would require solving a very computationally hard problem. We use the apparatus of parametrized complexity for this purpose
