Mini-symposium on ‘Mathematics Education’ held at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC), University of Nottingham, 7 – 9 April 2009

The British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC) is the largest annual meeting of applied mathematics researchers in the UK, attracting around 300 academic staff, postdoctoral researchers and a strong attendance by postgraduate students. The meeting lasts over 3-4 days held around the university Easter vacation period and rotates between UK mathematics schools/departments. The meeting topics span all areas of applied mathematics and many of current university applied mathematics lecturers started their career from participating in the BAMC. The meeting is a mixture of invited plenary lectures from world-leading experts, themed mini-symposia and parallel contributed talks from participants. In recent years BAMC has also hosted a mini-symposium within the broad area of mathematical education with support from the Maths, Stats & OR Network (MSOR Network)…
