Current Grants
Recent Publications
Online Modules for Linear and Matrix Algebra - With the support of grant NSF/CCLI-0737485, faculty at UTEP Mathematical Sciences Department developed a set of interactive online modules and investigations. Both the modules and the investigations are materials to support the learning of abstract linear algebra concepts. The grant's PI's are Dr. Hamide Dogan-Dunlap and Dr. Piotr Wojciechowski.
Middle School Mathematics Project - A 2-year professional development project to strengthen middle school teachers' content and pedagogical content knowledge. This project is funded by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The grant's PI's are Dr. Mourat Tchoshanov and Dr. Kien Lim. http://www.math.utep.edu/faculty/kienlim/TQPD.html
