NORTHEASTERN SECTION
|
|
The Northeastern Section of the MAA was inaugurated on November 26, 1955, so we are celebrating our semi-centennial this year. Our Fall Meeting will be a special one and is being held at the University of New Hampshire because it was the site of the inaugural meeting in 1955. To see more of the history of the Section, check out the links on our History and Archives page.
This page contains the meeting program for the NES/MAA Fall 2005
Meeting at the University of New Hampshire, along with other information about
the meeting (or links to that information). A tentative
program is posted below. As any updates about the meeting are
received, they will be posted on this site.
Call for talks/presentations for the following sessions at the Fall meeting:
Section NExT: The Northeastern Section is
continuing a Section NExT program for new and relatively new colleagues at this
year’s Fall Section meeting. By providing talks and workshops on issues of
interest, opportunities to meet and share ideas with other new colleagues, and
an introduction into Section activities, we hope to assist new faculty in their
transition from graduate school to professional academic life. The
Fall
2005 Section NExT program will be Friday, November 18.
