3    Math Course Related Recommendations  
3.1    LDTP Numbering organization.
3.1.2 Current status of LDTP Numbering for Mathematics
From Marshall Cates: 7 course descriptors for math were sent to each campus with the instructions to send them to departments that would teach these classes or articulate them.
They were: Calc-SV I, Calc SV II, Calc MV, ODE, Linear Algebra, ODE + LA, Prob & Stat.
On Fri, 21 Apr 2006, Cates, Marshall wrote: The calc classes and the Linear Algebra have been approved.
Not yet for ODE, ODE&LA, Calc for life science.

Northern California Undergraduate Mathematics Conference
When:                April 8, 2006
Where:         Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA
Who:         Undergraduates from Northern California (and their faculty sponsors)
What:         Participation and presentations on all areas of mathematics including applications to other disciplines.

 The Sonoma State University Mathematics Department is inviting undergraduate mathematics students from Northern California to participate in an undergraduate mathematics conference. In this conference, undergraduates will have the opportunity to present and attend 15-minute talks about projects that they are working on. These projects could include undergraduate research projects, independent study projects, or any other independent work they are doing that goes beyond the standard course curriculum. The conference will conclude with an invited talk by  John Martin  tailored toward undergraduate math students.

Students from all years of study are encouraged to participate and give presentations on any area of mathematics, including applications to other disciplines. While we do hope that many students will give a talk, we welcome all students to attend, as well as all faculty.

 CONFERENCE SUPPORT:   The Northern California Undergraduate Mathematics Conference is partially funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and is administered through the   Mathematical Association of America   (through DMS-0241090).
