The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) released the final
books in its 35-volumn "Navigations" series at the NCTM Annual Meeting in
Washington, DC in April. This largest single publication project in
NCTM history was accomplished under the leadership of NMU mathematics
professor Peggy House who chaired the Navigations steering committee and
served as general editor for all 35 books and their accompanying CD-ROM's.

The Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM) has created a series of
"nuggets" to make current research accessible to a general
audience. Find out more on the
SIAM
Web site.
Computer programs that learn with experience aren't
limited to neural networks. There are a wide spread of
different techniques based on decision trees, Bayesian
classifiers, belief networks, instance-based learning and
support vector machines. Some strategies can be
surprisingly effective for their simplicity depending on the
application.
In this course you will learn how to write programs and
autonomous agents that improve as they gain more experience.
The course is four-credits and is scheduled on MWRF
from 1:00 - 1:50 p.m.
