Lead a DIMACS institute for K-8 teachers at your site! If you might be interested in conducting a summer program for K-8 teachers in your area during 2000 or 2001, please contact Joe Rosenstein at joer@dimacs.rutgers.edu, within the next few weeks if possible. Many topics in discrete mathematics are appropriate for children at all grade levels, and can help transform mathematics instruction. The DIMACS Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics has developed a set of materials which have been successful with teachers, and which teachers have successfully implemented in their classrooms. We are looking for discrete mathematicians who would be willing to lead such institutes. We can provide you with all the materials that you will need to lead this program at your site, including daily schedules of activities, detailed instructor notes, transparencies, and hand-outs for the daily workshops, and exercises and take-home materials for the participants. If you are interested, please send me a note, and I will address all questions you may have about the program. Joseph G.

DANTZIG PRIZE 2000 Nominations are solicited for the George B. Dantzig Prize, administered jointly by the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). This prize is awarded to one or more individuals for original research which by its originality, breadth and depth, is having a major impact on the field of mathematical programming. The contributions(s) for which the award is made must be publicly available and may belong to any aspect of mathematical programming in its broadest sense. Strong preference will be given to candidates that have not reached their 50th birthday in the year of the award. The prize will be presented at the Mathematical Programming Society's triennial symposium, to be held 7-11 August 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Past prize recipients are listed on the MPS Web site http://www.caam.rice.edu/~mathprog/ . The members of the prize committee are William H. Cunningham, Claude Lemarechal, Stephen M. Robinson (Chair), and Laurence A. Wolsey. Nominations should consist of a letter describing the nominee's qualifications for the prize, and a current curriculum vitae of the nominee including a list of publications. They should be sent to Stephen M. Robinson Department of Industrial Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison 1513 University Avenue Madison, WI 53706-1572, USA E-mail: smrobins@facstaff.wisc.edu Nominations must be received by 15 October 1999. Any nominations received after that date will not be considered. Submission of nomination materials in electronic form (e-mail with attachments as needed) is strongly encouraged. +=========================================================================+ | DM-Net is a forum of the | | | | SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics | | | | We disseminate your contributions on anything of interest to the | | discrete mathematics community.
