Sponsorships
|
Maplesoft is actively involved in a wide range of sponsorships on a global, national and local level. Events, community, and education programs all provide us with an opportunity to showcase our products, build relationships and understand the changing needs of the marketplace.
Below are a few recent activities sponsored by Maplesoft: |

The 23rd Annual Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Conference on Undergraduate Mathematics
The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Conference on Undergraduate Mathematics spotlights and celebrates the accomplishments and work of undergraduate mathematicians. The Conference invites three talks from professional mathematicians, and all other talks are contributed by undergraduate students on mathematical topics. Appropriate material for contributed talks runs the gamut from challenging class projects to expository talks on interesting mathematical topics to work done with a faculty member or research done in an REU. |

The Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge
The Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge is a yearly activity of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), University of Waterloo. The program is designed to provide an extracurricular mathematics activity during the fall term for both senior level students, and to motivated younger students who have done some enrichment study beyond their school year, and particularly to those enrolled in fall semester courses who are looking for a mathematics enrichment challenge. Participants take part in various levels of competition that act as a qualifying paper for the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad. |

Summer Educational Enrichment in Math (SEE-Math)
For the past 4 years, Maplesoft has sponsored the Texas A&M University Math Department Summer Educational Enrichment in Math (SEE-Math) Program for middle school students entering the 6th, 7th or 8th grade under the direction of Dr. Phillip Yasskin. As part of the program students learn to make computer animations using Maple, how to count in complicated situations, how to color a map, how to count infinities, solve logical puzzles, and many other interesting problems. |

American Mathematical Society Math Games
Who Wants to be a Mathematician and Do the Math! are two games hosted by the American Mathematical Society. These games provide high school students with the chance to compete for cash and prizes by answering multiple choice mathematics questions. |
|
|
Canada/USA Math Camp
The Canada/USA Math Camp is a summer camp for mathematically talented and mathematically gifted high school students from around the world. It includes advanced mathematical topics not normally covered in high school. |

The Centre for Education in Mathematics & Computing (CEMC)
The CEMC was created at the University of Waterloo 1995, and for years this group (and its predecessor) has been responsible for operating the annual Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (as well as contests like the Galois, Fermat, and Euclid). The program is designed to provide an extracurricular mathematics activity during the fall term for advanced senior level students, and to motivate younger students who have done some enrichment study beyond their school year. Participants take part in various levels of competition that act as a qualifying paper for the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad. |

Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
Since 1972, the MAA has been responsible for running the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO). Their aim through this two day contest is to “provide a means to identify and encourage the most creative secondary school students in the country”. The top 12 students are invited to a special awards ceremony held in Washington, DC, and 6 of these students form the U.S. team that goes on to compete at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS)
Now in its 38th year, the CMS runs the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad. This year, 80 students from across the country were invited to participate based on their results from qualifying events like the Canadian Open Math Challenge. The organizers feel that “preparing for the Olympiad gives students the incentive to explore mathematics beyond the regular curriculum”, and are confident that, “students who participate in these competitions develop the creative problem solving skills so valuable in today's workplace." Winning students go on to represent Canada at the International Mathematical Olympiad. |

Sunshine State Scholars Program
The Sunshine State Scholars Program is unique in that it focuses on seniors, and also in that it assesses both mathematics and science knowledge. It represents an opportunity to recognize those students who excel in the mathematics and science standards of the Florida curriculum frameworks. |

FIRST Robotics Competition
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of students and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in a series of competitions designed by Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers. The Competition has grown to over 1500 teams involving over 37 000 high school students competing in 41 Regional Events, and The Championship held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. |

Towards eEnvironment
The European conference Towards eEnvironment is dedicated to information exchange among public administrations, EU institutions, environmental agencies, scientists and businesses involved in developing and using environmental informatics for the delivery of modern eEnvironment services in Europe. The conference is organised by the Masaryk University in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic, the European Commission, the European Environment Agency and the European Space Agency and further Czech institutions (CENIA, CSO, ICS AS, CHMI, CTU). |

Canadian Mathematics Education Forum 2009
"Curriculum" in its many dimensions emerged as a recurring theme in the previous CMEFs. With a view to address some of the main concerns and challenges that were expressed there, it was decided to have the 2009 Forum focus on the ways in which resources and assessment define, inform and mould curriculum. This objective requires the participation and collaboration of people involved at the many relevant constituencies: the school systems, teachers at all levels, coordinators, school boards, colleges and universities, mathematics and statistics departments, faculties of education, Ministries of Education, parent groups and business and industry. |

|
Applications of Computer Algebra (ACA) Conference
The ACA series of conferences is devoted to promoting the applications and development of Computer Algebra and Symbolic Computation. Topics include computer algebra and symbolic computation in engineering, the sciences, medicine, pure and applied mathematics, education, communication and computer science, etc. |

Quantum to Cosmos Festival
In partnership with the Perimeter Institute, Maplesoft will be a part of the Quantum to Cosmos festival (Q2C) taking place this October. Running for 10 days, the festival will take a global audience from the world of subatomic particles to the outer frontiers of the universe. The festival's program features more than 50 events - including panel discussions, keynote presentations, special screenings and recorded sessions with Honorary Festival President, Professor Stephen Hawking. Q2C will take place in Waterloo but will stream events live and on demand, offering virtual interaction with exhibits, and providing special opportunities for students and teachers. |

Carnegie Mellon Racing Team
Carnegie Mellon Racing is Carnegie Mellon's chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Student members are given the opportunity to participate in SAE's Collegiate Design Series. With support from Maplesoft, students will conceptualize, design, fabricate, test and competitively race their cars while defending their ideas in an educational setting. |
