“What IGNITES Us?”. What makes mathematicians and mathematics educators passionate?

Join Monica Tienda and  Cal Armstrong from the PCMI Teacher Leadership Program (PCMI | TLP) to hear "Methods of Mathematical Proofs."

Ignite presentations at the 29th annual PCMI Summer Session taking place June 30–July 20, 2019, at the Prospector Conference Center in Park City, Utah. The residential, three-week Summer Session is the flagship activity of the IAS | Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI), an outreach program of the Institute for Advanced Study. The 2019 research theme is Quantum Field Theory and Manifold Invariants.

The PCMI Summer Session is an intensive program that includes several parallel sets of activities aimed at different groups of participants across the entire mathematics community. These activities include a program for mathematics researchers, eight mini-courses for graduate students on topics related to harmonic analysis, two lecture series for undergraduate students, a program for faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions, a workshop on equity and mathematics education for undergraduate faculty, and a professional development program for K–12 school teachers. All of PCMI’s groups meet simultaneously, pursuing individual courses of study and a meaningful amount of interaction both scientifically and socially.
