V.I. Arnold: On Teaching Mathematics

"On teaching mathematics" by V.I. Arnold is an extension of a talk given in Paris in 1997 -- an inspiring, amusing, provoking and fascinating little gem that some may not know, yet. Due to the courtesy of Russian Mathematical Surveys we can reprint it here with some added links and a brief introduction, pointing to related material.

On the ballot for DSWeb Magazine

Mason Porter and Elizabeth Cherry agreed to run for Secretary of our AG. The Secretary is also the Editor-in-Chief of DSWeb Magazine. Traditionally, SIAM invites each candidate to write one or two paragraphs to lay out their plans and opinions. These blurbs will appear on the ballot, along with those of the aspiring Chairs, Vice-Chairs, Program Directors and members of the Advisory Board.
We invited Mason and Elizabeth to explain their vision for the Magazine in particular.

The DSweb portal is changing to a new content management system and we need your help!

Preparations for AN14

Apart from the Snowbird meeting, our Activity Group also organises tracks of dynamical systems related sessions at a major applied mathematics meetings. Two years ago, Evelyn Sander organised such a track at the 2011 ICIAM meeting in Vancouver. Next year, our AG will be featured along with Computational Science and Engineering and Geosciences at the SIAM Annual Meeting in Chicago. Lennaert van Veen gives an update on the organisation of this event.
