MathFest 2024
The SIGMAA SDS-Ed held a Contributed Paper Session, its Business meeting, and an invited speaker presentation in the 2024 MathFest.
Welcome
The purpose of this SIGMAA is to facilitate the exchange of ideas about teaching statistics and data science, the undergraduate statistics and data science curricula and all other issues related to providing students with effective and engaging encounters with these topics in their courses of study. We also hope to foster increased understanding of statistics and data science among members of the MAA, promote the discipline of statistics and data science among students, and work cooperatively with other organizations to encourage effective teaching and learning of statistics and data science.
The SIGMAA SDS-Ed awards the Robert V. Hogg Award and the Dexter C. Whittinghill III Award at the SIGMAA business meeting at MathFest annually.
News
The section held two events at MathFest 2024, on Friday, Aug 9 in room 309-310:
