A warm welcome to Dr. Daniel Biss, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at University of Chicago and Clay Research Fellow! I teach math at the University of Chicago, and also some high schools in Chicago. It's a long trip from Illinois to Maryland, and I can't wait to make it. My main interests are in math, art, teaching, and language...and finding ways to understand them all together! I've been participating in math summer programs as a teacher, student, or visitor since the 1980's, so I expect to feel right at home in Frostburg. |

Welcome to . . . The Maryland Summer Center for Mathematics: Mystery + Mastery * Beauty + Power = Infinity ! at Frostburg State University. Our team of 6 dedicated teachers is working hard to prepare for You an exciting week of math explorations and challenges that let You feel the thrills of seeing new patterns and surprising connections between ideas! Mathematics is a world of exploration, with new ideas being discovered & invented every day! In fact, just in the last year a new biggest prime number was discovered: 2 raised to the 25,964,951 power - that is almost 8 million digits - it would need a 4000 page paperback book that's more than 8 inches thick! I can't wait to meet You in July and explore with You!! |

I'm really excited that we'll be together this summer to behold the beauty, mind the mystery, perceive the power, and gain some mastery of mathematics! The more I've studied math, the more amazed I've become at its nature – it's a language, an art, a science, and it has connections to things we see, and hear, and use every day. Together, at the Summer Center for Mathematics, we'll explore this infinitely awesome subject of mathematics! | |
