The full program and abstracts of the talks are now available (in PDF format). The program will include our annual Lewis-Parker Lecture, an invited presentation by a prominent local research mathematician, on a topic selected by the Lecturer. The speaker and title for this year's Lewis-Parker Lecturer will be Dr. Vitaly Voloshin of Troy University, who will speak about "Graph Coloring: history, results and open problems."

The 2009 Alabama annual MAA dinner will be hosted on the evening of February 27, 2009, also at JSU. The guest speaker will be Dr. Colm Mulcahy, speaking on "New Mathemagical Principles Applied to Card Tricks." For more information, see Dr. Mulcahy's MAA column, Card Colm.

In recent years the annual AACTM meeting has been a lively forum for the discussion of curricular issues in mathematics and the use of technology in mathematics education. The program and other information from the 2003 meeting are still available, so that you can see the range of topics discussed.

The meeting also includes a business meeting, during which new officers are elected and arrangements begin for the next year's meeting -- see the minutes of the 2005 business meeting, held at Judson College. (Minutes of some past business meetings are available online.) The Bylaws of the AACTM (dating from 1992) seem due for revision, and discussion of bylaws is expected to continue at future business meetings. (A new draft is scheduled for a vote in February 2009.)
