From Peter.Gates at nottingham.ac.uk Fri Feb 3 15:13:13 2017 From: Peter.Gates at nottingham.ac.uk (Peter Gates) Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 15:13:13 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT - MES9 Message-ID: From Anna Chronaki Dear all With this message, we would like to inform you that we are now in the process of compiling a very rich and interesting academic program with more than 100 papers, symposia, projects and posters of research activity. Another very exciting MES 9 conference seems to be under way! Time is coming up for MES 9. We are now only about 65 days apart. We are really looking forward to host you here at Volos in Greece! In the meantime, and in order for us being able to manage this event, we would like to urge you for a few important things: a) Please, try to finalize your registration by the 15th of February. MES 9 is a self-funded project and we really depend on your registration for making it happen. b) Please, donate!... MES 9 tries to support marginalized academics who are presenting their research in the conference and do not have enough funding for travel and accommodation. We depend on each-other?s solidarity and respons/ability. Every little amount you can offer to this event counts tremendously! c) Please, book your accommodation not later than the 15th of February at VALIS hotel where the conference venue is taking place. The hotel?s availability is fast closing down and we will not be able to guarantee that there will be free rooms for you to book after that date. d) Book your excursions and extension for Easter package stay. Places are limited. e) Book your child care now. We need to know exact numbers of children that need this facility. Thank you very much for your collaboration and your support. on behalf of MES 9 organization team From M.S.Homer at education.leeds.ac.uk Fri Feb 3 16:54:20 2017 From: M.S.Homer at education.leeds.ac.uk (Matthew Homer) Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 16:54:20 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] Researcher needed on maths ed core maths project Message-ID: A new project on Core maths at the University of Leeds is adverting for a researcher: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=ESLED1030 Details also attached.

I now have PME2-PME38 (with the exception of PME31). (There was no PME1 proceedings) 1. If anyone have a spare copy of PME 31 they would like to donate - that would be wonderful. You will all know how uncomfortable a singularity is to us mathematicians. 2. At the end of September I am due to move on to other things (also called retiring) so I do need to find a home for this old technology. Might anyone be interested in housing this collection. It takes up almost 3m of shelf space. On another issue, I will be passing on the management of this list to Colin Foster or CRIME, Nottingham, who has agreed to take it over.
