INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
======================================================
MULTIVARIATE ALGORITHMICS (FPT)
Fresh Ideas and New Results Workshop.
7 July, from 9:30 AM to 4 PM at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan,
Poland.
5th CREATIVE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE (CMSC 2020)
July 3—7, at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland.
WEBSITE: https://cmsc.wmi.amu.edu.pl/
==================================================
SUBMIT A SHORT ABSTRACT BY 20 APRIL. The coronavirus situation is being
monitored.
================
AIM
================
An FPT Workshop is included with every CMSC. The focus is on new
research directions in multivariate algorithms and complexity.
The series of CMSC conferences engage researchers, educators and
communicators in exploring new ways of communicating the rich
algorithmics and mathematics underlying computer science thinking; the
sort of thinking initiated by "Computer Science Unplugged!" and other
similar efforts.
Warmly welcomed are interdisciplinary aspects of mathematics/CS
communication in any form: theatre, dance, music, art, field games and
other ways of engagement. Projects that are in the "thinking about" or
development stage are welcome.
Scientists are invited to describe their efforts to popularize their
research and how this has led to new and fruitful research directions.
Teachers are invited to share successful activities.
Saturday, 4 July will be an all-community day of mathematics activities
for children and adults, a vibrant mathematical festival for all of
Poznan. CMSC / FPT participants are asked to bring an activity to share,
outdoors if weather permits.
The Music Academy will host a Music and Programming experience.
There will be a LEGO and algorithmic thinking workshop.
================
- Sponsors include The European Mathematical Society and the Polish
Mathematical Society.
- In-cooperation with ACM SIGCSE.
================
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
================
- Tim BELL, University of Christchurch, New Zealand
- Michael FELLOWS, University of Bergen, Norway
Tim and Mike are co-authors (with Ian Witten, Univ Waikato) of "Computer
Science Unplugged." Tim was awarded the SIGCSE Award for Outstanding
Contribution to Computer Science Education. Both have been awarded the
ETH University of Zurich International Gold Medal of Honor for Computer
Science and Computer Science Education, for "Computer Science Unplugged!
and for sharing the foundations and open questions of computer science
with students of all ages."
- Judith GAL-EZER, Open University of Israel, has been announced by the
Mayor of Poznan as a Scientific Guest of the City of Poznan. Professor
Gal-Ezer will be a Keynote Speaker for CMSC.
- Bernhard GANTER, TU Darmstadt, constructed Mutabor with Rudolf Wille.
Gantaer is the founder of the Erlebnisland Mathematik museum, Dresden.
He is a pioneer of formal concept analysis, interested in its relations
to applications in computer science.
- Jerzy POGONOWSKI, author of more than a hundred papers devoted to
applications of logic, methodology of science and philosophy of
mathematics, Department of Logic and Cognitive Science, Adam Mickiewicz
University.
- Karl SCHAFFER and Erik STERN are the co-artistic Directors of the Dr.
Schaffer and Mr. Stern Dance Ensemble Math Dance written by Karl
Schaffer, Erik Stern, and Scott Kim. www.mathdance.org &
www.schafferstern.org.

- CMSC2020 is in partnership with the International Cryptology Game: The
CODEBREAKERS <www.thecodebreakers.org> available in many languages and
played by approximately 12,000 people from all continents. See the
trailer here: https://youtu.be/8mGs3DRlESo.
- The travelling exhibition "HANDS-ON MATHEMATICS" from the MUSEUM
MATHEMATICUM in Giessen is being brought to CMSC by the Polish-German
Cooperation Foundation so that the CMSC participants (and everybody in
Poznan) can have fun experimenting with math.
