This is a friendly reminder that we will have our first colloquium talk on Monday, March 2, at 3-4pm, in Room 322, Morton Hall, Athens. The speaker is Dr. Yehong Shao and the abstract is attached. We're trying to set up a Zoom link so that regional faculty
or faculty on travel can join remotely. Once it's successfully set up (<span style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">finger-crossed)</span>, another email with the link will be sent
out. Due to budget policy, a minimal refreshment will be provided (really sorry for this). However, if anyone would like to join the dinner after the talk, please let Vinny or me know.</div>

At the suggestion of Todd E. and Vinny, we are planning a spring (and possibly for the coming Fall as well) colloquium series in Athens. The idea is to have more opportunities for math faculty from all groups and all campuses to gather together, share and discuss
research and other topics of common interest, and to get to know each other better. If you could give a talk this Spring or this coming Fall, or if you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me or Vinny know.</div>

<div>Title: A tale of three systems (or What MATH 2120 could have been)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Abstract: Non-decimal place value systems, such as binary systems, have been introduced and studied
<br>
</div>
<div>in many college-level courses in mathematics and computer science, but rarely is this subject front and
<br>
</div>
<div>center of a math education course. We propose an unconventional course that immerses students in
<br>
</div>
<div>non-decimal thinking by focusing on three different number systems: senary, factoradic, and base-infinity.
<br>
</div>
<div>This course will instill in students a deeper understanding of various concepts in elementary mathematics
<br>
</div>
<div>such as place values, standard algorithms in arithmetic, divisibility tests, prime factorization, and irrationality. <br>
</div>
<div>It can serve as a continuation of the entry-level mathematical education course on basic arithmetic
<br>
</div>
<div>and number systems, while elevating these topics to a notch below the undergraduate number theory course. <br>
</div>
<div>Because of the unusual subject matters under study, this course is also well-suited for nonstandard
<br>
</div>
<span>pedagogical methods such as discovery-based and inquiry-based learning.</span><br>
