SIMIODE EXPO 2025, 14 – 16 February 2025, is the fifth international online conference devoted to teaching and learning differential equations through a modeling approach and many broader issues. View and download the Conference Schedule to plan your itinerary for your conference experience. There are some 75 sessions from which to select for engagement, learning, and fun. The conference is in ZOOM Event, a rich and supportive virtual platform for talks, student activities, presentations, panels, sharing, fun activities, informal break-out discussions, and on the spot collegial exchanges. EXPO 2025 is sponsored by SIMIODE – Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and Opportunities with Differential Equations, a non-profit Community of Practice. See all the rich teaching scenarios/lessons, engagements, and materials offered at SIMIODE.
This year, they are thrilled to introduce exciting new features
FREE Registration for students and attendees from developing countries!
Saturday night Student (and Young at Heart) Social Activities – Math Puzzles and an Escape Room.
Social Meetup time (two one-hour sessions) to meet new colleagues in conversation and network with new colleagues.
Two and three parallel sessions of exciting opportunities to join on Friday, 12:45 – 9:00 PM, Saturday, 1:00 – 9:00 PM, and Sunday, 1:00 – 6:00 PM. All times Eastern United States time zone.
Special Workshops: Participate in a FREE workshop —MINDE (Model INstructors in Differential Equations) or DEMARC (Differential Equations Model And Resource Creators)—to enhance your teaching skills and create modeling resources.
They offer complete information on SIMIODE EXPO 2025 as well as a complete listing of slides and videos of all previous EXPO conference activities.
Our exciting keynote speakers are Cynthia Nicol, The University of British Columbia, on “Pedagogies Supporting the Well-being of the Self, Community, and Land,” and the team of Feryal Alayont – Grand Valley State University; Korana Burke – University of California, Davis; Erin Griesenauer – Eckerd College; Jeremy Shaw – Oregon State University-Cascades; Rohit Thomas – University of California, Davis, on “Ethical Reasoning: An Essential Component of Mathematical Modeling.”
The program, with over 75 sessions (you read that right!), includes collegial sharing on the “how to” of using modeling to introduce and motivate the study of differential equations; sources for data and ideas for modeling; modeling in calculus and differential equations; useful technologies; student course projects and summer research; student reactions to modeling in coursework; student social Saturday night; sharing the SCUDEM Outstanding Award modeling experiences as well as other competition experiences; sample classes with rich resources for success; special topics for courses; use of available modeling sources; panels and discussions on topics of concern to faculty and students; meet the author, Dr. Kurt Bryan, of the SIMIODE low-cost differential equations textbook, Differential Equations: A Toolbox for Modeling the World; ideas on the proverbial “How do we do modeling and cover ‘required’ materials?” as well as other practical issues; and much more.
There are two FREE workshops: (MINDE – Model INstructors in Differential Equations) for learning how to use modeling in teaching differential equations (1.5-hour session to be offered during the next week at three different times to respond to the overwhelming numbers enrolled) and (DEMARC – Differential Equations Model And Resource Creators) for writers who wish to develop Modeling Scenarios to be peer-reviewed and published in SIMIODE 1.5-hour session with follow-up session in two weeks).
All formal sessions will be recorded for total conference presentations and later reference, as we have done in the past.So, as they say, “What are you waiting for?” Register now for this exciting and rewarding gathering held on ZOOM Event platform for ease in moving about and meeting colleagues. See you at SIMIODE EXPO 2025.
