1992 Middlesex Community College Lowell, MA

The 1992 Meeting was held at the Lowell (CITY) campus of Middlesex Community College, Lowell, Massachusetts, on Saturday, March 14. The theme was Teaching in a Changing Environment.

In addition to the meeting, NEMATYC offered an NSF funded workshop Teaching Calculus with a Computer Algebra System (CAS). This workshop was conducted by Don Small, of the United States Military Academy at West Point, who received the grant and provided the opportunity to NEMATYC. It was held on Thursday, May 21 through Saturday, May 23. The 24 participants stayed at the Lowell Sheraton Inn, next to the Middlesex Community College campus, and the sessions were conducted at the college's campus. Rooms and meals were paid by the grant.

For logistical reasons this writer did the Newsletter in 1992, and created the unofficial NEMATYC logo at that time.

Philip Mahler and Regina Goodwin cochaired the program committee. Beth Fraser was the coordinator for the Lowell Site, and Elaine Cinq-Mars coordinated the publishers' exhibit. At the business meeting, run by President Jack Keating, it was announced that Steve Krevisky, Middlesex Community College (CT) was vice president, and Judy Carter, North Shore Community College, was elected the new Newsletter editor, and Eiki Satake, Emerson College, was elected treasurer.
