Dynamic geometry As an expression of my interest in dynamical geometry software/webware and the mathematical issues surrounding it, I applied for and was awarded an NSERC research grant for a project entitled "The Mathematical Foundations of Dynamic Geometry". The intent of the project was to axiomatize dynamic geometry in a manner that reflects its own inherent structures rather than those of classical static geometry.

BinderBabies As part of my interest in web interfaces for mathematical and other education, I developed a javascript-operated web notebook interface for online educational and other materials. Technology changes and the interface no longer works; all that remains is a demo of how it did work.

Poincaré In 1996(?), I was awarded a small grant to produce an online module for a geometry course I was teaching. The topic was the geometry of the Poincaré universe. The fun part was figuring out how to integrate interactivity into the project; I used Geometer's Sketchpad as a helper application. Helper applications in web browsers have disappeared so it no longer functions; a demo of how it did function is available.

Hypatia For the first 8 months of 1995, I ran a webserver named Hypatia from my office computer at the University of New Brunswick (using MacHTTP, the precursor of WebStar). It was small, mostly lists of links on geometry and women's issues, but popular. I learned how to serve a downloadable QuickTime movie of a proof of Pythagoras' theorem (made with the precursor of Director) and live Geometer's Sketchpad sketches (i.e. click a GIF to open the corresponding GSP file using GSP as a helper application). It was a fun and illuminating way to cut my web-teeth, but I had to take it down to go on sabbatical. By the time I returned, it was hopelessly passé, so I moved on.

Online calculus I had a contract with the Centre for Distance Education at SFU to design an online version of Math 151 (Calculus I). My purpose in accepting this contract was to learn first-hand about the realities of designing an online course, and to learn how to integrate technology (in this case, LiveMath) directly into the day-to-day course pedagogy, rather than using it as an adjunct, as is currently done with most online mathematics courses. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from this project because of conflicting time commitments.

APuRL I was involved with the Advanced Publishing Research Lab, "An Open Source Canadian Research Initiative on the Future of Publishing jointly hosted at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC." "APuRL was established to undertake applied research into the digital publication and dissemination of knowledge."

ESC I was a member of the Electronic Services Committee of the Canadian Mathematical Society until December 1999 (when it was reconstituted) and after that, a member of "ESC+". The ESC oversees and makes policy on the CMS website and electronic journals. I was also a member of TeamCamel, the CECM committee responsible for the development of the CMS e-journals, website and associated projects.

Telelearning I was a researcher with CECM's Telelearning NCE project, Advanced Knowledge Delivery for Mathematical Learning, whose purpose was "to explore and create next-generation interactive tools and environments for teaching and communicating mathematical knowledge and intuition." We were developing components for an online mathematics lab environment.

Women's projects On behalf of the Women's Committee of the Canadian Math. Society, I originally designed and for several years maintained the women's pages of the CMS website. I also co-directed the creation of the Directory of Canadian Women in the Mathematical Sciences. I was also on the board of CCWEST, the Canadian Coalition for Women in Engineering, Science and Technology.

WebMath I started and host a Canadian Math. Society-sponsored mailing list, WebMath, for any and all aspects of mathematics on the web: educational technology, online math pedagogy, online mathematics text, mathematical interactivity, math e-journals and publishing, and so on. There are currently about 300 subscribers. Signup page and list archives.

I started the list mainly based on assurances that MathML was just around the corner, and soon everyone would be producing webpages with math in them en masse. That was in 1999, and we're still waiting.

Mathematical communication I am interested in the theoretical and practical issues surrounding networked mathematical communication, particularly on the web. To this end, I co-organized a very successful Math on the Internet session for the Dec. 1998 meeting of the Canadian Math. Society and organized and a larger sequel for the Math 2000 CMS meeting (June, 2000).
