Mathematics across the curriculum and quantitative reasoning: Multiple collegiate models

On Friday, March 28th, the Borough of Manhattan Community College will sponsor a one-day conference on both mathematics across the curriculum (MAC) and quantitative reasoning (QR, also called "quantitative literacy"). Speakers will include Bernie Madison (University of Arkansas), Maura Mast (University of Massachusetts Boston), Bill Briggs (University of Colorado at Denver), and Rebecca Hartzler (Edmonds Community College, WA. In addition, a number of faculty from CUNY who are active in the MAC/QR movement will make presentations.

The conference, which will include lunch, will be free of charge but limited in size. All CUNY faculty, both math faculty and faculty from other disciplines interested in QR and/or MAC, are invited to attend.
