ATCM logo Asian Technology Conference in Mathematics
    An enjoyable and instructive conference ATCM 2007 Tentative Program

The Tentative Program of The Twelfth Asian Technology Conference in Mathematics

 

Notes to participants

  1. This program is only tentative, the final program will be distributed at the conference.

  2. We seek participants' assistance to chair some session(s). Please inform Dr. Wei-Chi Yang at 'wyang@radford.edu' if you are unable to present at specified time or chair a specific session.

  3. We encourage participants to bring their own NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS to the conference; in particular to the hands-on workshops as some sophisticated software packages may not be run correctly under the computers provided by the conference venue. There will be wireless access at the conference.
