Mathematics and the Microcomputer Workshops: (I) Chaos; (II) Decision Making

为大学教职员工提供了两个应用数学讲习班。为期五天的工作坊于的暑期在索尔兹伯里州立大学举行，由美国数学协会MD-DC-VA分会赞助。主要人口将是该部门的成员和来自毗邻州的成员。正在强调数学和微型计算机之间正在出现的共生关系，讲习班的目标是为课堂提供有效的应用。第一期混沌理论研讨会由马里兰大学等离子体物理实验室的Celso Grebogi主持。混沌是一个具有概念和技术贡献的领域，每个人的应用数学工具包中都应该有这些贡献。它使计算机得到了自然而有力的利用。第二期决策研讨会由匹兹堡大学的T·L·萨蒂主持。他的层次分析法适用于复杂系统，特别是在行为科学和社会科学领域。此外，还提供了一个专家系统，该系统是为实现AHP而设计的，并在微型计算机上运行。该机构正在为该计划提供额外的支持，参与者所在的机构也将提供支持。

Two applied mathematics workshops are being offered for college faculty. The five-day workshops are being held in the Summer of 1989 at Salisbury State University and are sponsored by the MD-DC-VA Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The primary population will be members of the section and members from contiguous states. The emerging symbiosis of mathematics and microcomputers is being emphasized, with the goal of the workshop to provide effective applications for the classroom. The first workshop on Chaos theory is being given by Celso Grebogi of the University of Maryland Lab for Plasma Physics. Chaos is a field with conceptual and technical contributions that should be in everyone's applied math kit. It makes natural and powerful use of computers. The second workshop on Decision Making, is being given by T. L. Saaty of the University of Pittsburgh. His Analytic Hierarchy Process is applicable to complex systems, especially in the behavioral and social science fields. Moreover, an expert system is available that has been designed to implement AHP and to run on a microcomputer. The institution is contributing additional support for the program and the participant's institutions will also provide support.
