Thursday Keynote Session Lindy Elkins-Tanton The NASA Psyche Mission: Journey to a Metallic World Thursday, October 28  3:00 pm – 4:30 pm “Psyche” is both the name of a metallic asteroid, and the name of the NASA mission to visit that asteroid. Humans have never explored a world made of metal. The presentation will include how missions are planned, who plans them, and the steps to prepare for launch. Lindy Elkins-Tanton is the Principal Investigator (lead) of the NASA Psyche mission, Managing Director of the Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State University, and co-founder of Beagle Learning, a tech company training and measuring collaborative problem-solving and critical thinking. Her research concerns terrestrial planetary formation and evolution, and she promotes and practices inquiry and exploration learning. Her mission is to create a generation of problem-solvers. Elkins-Tanton received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from MIT. She was a researcher at Brown University, faculty at MIT, and a director at the Carnegie Institution for Science before moving to the directorships at Arizona State University. She has collaborated on over 115 articles or chapters, co-authored six books, and was the primary supervisor for at least 20 post-doctoral, graduate, or undergraduate researchers. At ASU she has taught many courses in her research area as well as professional development courses. Elkins-Tanton has led four field expeditions in Siberia. She is a two-time NAS Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow and served on the Planetary Decadal Survey Mars panel, and the Mars 2020 Rover Science Definition Team, and now serves on the Europa Clipper Standing Review Board. In 2010 she was awarded the Explorers Club Lowell Thomas prize. Asteroid (8252) Elkins-Tanton is named for her. In 2013 she was named the Astor Fellow at Oxford University. She published the book Earth, co-authored with Jeffrey Cohen, in 2017. She is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and of the American Mineralogical Society, and in 2018 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.

Saturday Awards Breakfast Session Talithia Williams Power in Numbers: Unveiling Hidden Figures Saturday, October 30 Breakfast Served: 7:45 am – 8:15 am (ticket required)  Program: 8:30 am – 10:00 am Hidden Figures brought visibility to African American women serving as NASA “human computers” in the 1960s, dreaming the impossible in a field where their presence was lacking. Demands of today’s STEM workforce require recruiting and training individuals typically underrepresented in math. Hear the speaker’s journey as a woman of color in statistics. Share ways to excite public interest in mathematics, building upon the rich legacy of these Hidden Figures. Talithia Williams is an innovative, award-winning Harvey Mudd College professor, a co-host of the PBS NOVA series NOVA Wonders and a speaker whose popular TED Talk, “Own Your Body’s Data”, extols the value of statistics in quantifying personal health information. She demystifies the mathematical process in amusing and insightful ways to excite students, parents, educators and the larger community about STEM education and its possibilities. Williams is a proud graduate of Spelman College (B.A., math), Howard University (M.S., mathematics) and Rice University (M.A., Ph.D., statistics). Her research focus involves developing statistical models that emphasize the spatial and temporal structure of data and applies them to problems in the environment. She’s worked at NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the National Security Agency and has partnered with the World Health Organization on research regarding cataract surgical rates in African countries. In 2015, she won the Mathematical Association of America’s Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathematics Faculty Member, which honors faculty members whose teaching is effective and extraordinary, and extends its influence beyond the classroom. It is this excellence that attracted the attention of online educational company The Great Courses, which selected Williams to produce Learning Statistics: Concepts and Applications in R, a series of lectures in which she provides tools to evaluate statistical data and determine if it’s used appropriately. She is the author of Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics, a full-color book highlighting the influence of women in the mathematical sciences in the last two millennia. Faith and family round out a busy life that she shares with her husband and three amazing boys. Through her research and work in the community at large, she is helping change the collective mindset regarding STEM in general and math in particular, rebranding the field of mathematics as a logical, productive career path that is crucial to the future of the country rather than dry, technical, or male- dominated.

1 FEATURED SPEAKERS

James Tanton The Astounding Mathematics of Bicycle Tracks Thursday, October 28  1:50 pm – 2:40 pm It’s a classic in the mathematics community: If you come across the pair of bicycle tracks on the ground, can you determine which way the bicycle went? Find out as the presenter rides his bicycle. Then explore additional surprises about this and see standard geometry put to wild quirky use! James Tanton (PhD, Princeton 1994, mathematics) is an author, a consultant, and an ambassador for the Mathematical Association of America in Washington D.C., currently serving as their Mathematician-at-Large. He has taught mathematics both at university and high-school institutions. He is absolutely committed to promoting effective and joyful mathematics thinking, learning, and doing at all levels of the education spectrum. He has written over a dozen books, including The Encyclopedia of Mathematics (Facts on File, 2005) and two wordless puzzle books Without Words and More Without Words (Tarquin, 2015) — which have each been translated in Serbian — and How Round Is a Cube? (AMS, 2020). He advises on curriculum, consults with teachers, and gives demonstration classes, public outreach talks, professional development sessions across the globe. Tanton created the MAA’s Curriculum Inspirations project, serves as chair of the Advisory Council for the National Museum of Math- ematics (New York), serves of the Board of Great Minds, and is founder of The Global Math Project, an initiative set to transform the entire world’s perception of what mathematics can and should be. At present, over 6.5 million students and their teachers across the planet have taken part in a common joyous piece of mathematics to see how classroom mathematics serves as a portal for human joy, wonder, and delight. James received the 2020 Joint Policy Board for Mathematics Communications Award. At the 2019 AMATYC Annual Conference, Tanton showed us “A Dozen Proofs that 1 = 2: A Misguided Review of Mathematics” as well as teaching us the International Math Salute (www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSMeawFz0Sw) He grew up in Adelaide, Australia, and now lives in Phoenix, AZ.

Scott Adamson Fired Up to Take Online Teaching Innovations Back to the Classroom! Saturday, October 30  10:45 am – 11:35 am

After a year of transitioning to asynchronous, online instruction, it’s time to think about how this work can be leveraged in the return to face-to-face instruction. This session will include discussion of the innovative, online pedagogical strategies that supported student learning that can also be effective in the face-to-face environment. Scott Adamson is an award-winning mathematics professor who strives to help students develop mathematical reasoning and persistent problem solving as they work to make sense of big mathematical ideas. He structures the classroom environment so that students are afforded the opportunity to make sense of mathematics and strives to develop enthusiastic learners in the classroom. After teaching high school students for 10 years, Adam- son currently teaches students at Chandler-Gilbert CC. He holds a B.S. and M.A.T. in Mathematics Education from Northern Arizona Univer- sity and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (emphasis on Mathematics Education) from Arizona State University. He tells his colleagues and himself that we need to stop teaching mathematics and start teaching students! Certainly, we will teach our students the beauty, wonder, and utility of mathematics, but we must realize that the positive relationships that we build with our students are most important! In 2017, at the AMATYC Annual Conference, Scott gave the Opening Session Keynote address which led to a TEDx Talk called “Is it 1957 or 2017?”
