Algebra: Gateway to a Technological Future -- A Conference to be Convened in Washington, DC, November 9-11, 2006

NSF支持了许多旨在提高各级学生代数学习的项目。 MAA将于2006年11月9日至11日在华盛顿聚集约50名数学家和数学教育工作者，以概述这项先前的工作，寻求支持学生成功的共同原则，并为未来提供指导。 参与者将从数学科学界的领导者中选出，并具有先前成功的证明记录。 会议将支持制定具有国家视角的报告的目标，并通过吸引社区关键成员来激发对报告的兴趣。

NSF has supported many projects designed to improve student learning of algebra at all levels. The MAA will bring together approximately 50 mathematicians and mathematics educators on November 9-11, 2006, in Washington, DC, to develop an overview of this prior work, seek common principles that support student success, and provide guidance for the future. Participants will be drawn from leaders in the mathematical sciences community with proven records of prior success. The conference will support the goal of developing a report with a national perspective, and serve to stimulate interest in the report by engaging key members of the community.
