Introduction
On the behalf of the Chung Yuan Christian University in Chungli, Taiwan, members of the Local Organizing Committee, and everyone on the International Program Committee of this ATCM conference, we are proud and honored to present this collection of thirty (30) papers related from ATCM 2017. These papers reflect a variety of perspectives around the conference's theme: Technological Creativity and Innovation in Mathematics Applications.
We offer our most sincere thanks to the local teachers where were able to attend this enjoyable and instructive annual international conference. We appreciate the diversity among the educators and scientists who have discussed and demonstrated the most current trends in technology for mathematics and mathematics with technology. While we are sad to see many long-time ATCM contributors have retired or are retiring, we are also energized by the many young presenters coming to ATCM this year.
We believe creativity and innovation will flourish when we take advantage of a variety of technologies to increase student engagement with the mathematics they are learning in our classrooms. With each passing year existing technologies mature and new technologies are created. Each development provides new opportunities to present to new generations of students the mathematics that is the cornerstone of all Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. All authors and readers are encouraged to contribute their favorite idea to the next ATCM or to the Electronic Journal of Technology and Mathematics (eJMT: https://php.radford.edu/~ejmt/).
We would also like to thank the many participants and contributions from all around world. It was good to renew old friendships from previous ATCMs and also to make even more new friends. We hope you will invite a few of your colleagues to experience ATCM for themselves. We look forward to seeing everyone at future ATCMs, starting with ATCM 2018 in Yogyakarta State University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on November 20-24, 2018.
And, finally, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all sponsors for their support of ATCM 2017 again this year. We thank also the members of the International Program Committee and external reviewers for their great contribution in reviewing papers to ensure our Proceedings can be released in time.
