Halmos Mathematician Publishes Research Monograph

Halmos College of Arts and Sciences mathematician Edmond W. H. Lee, Ph.D., D.Sc., has recently published his research monograph “Advances in the Theory of Varieties of Semigroups” in the book series Frontiers in Mathematics by Birkhäuser (Springer).

The monograph explores the development of the theory of varieties of semigroups, a topic that lies in the intersection of universal algebra and semigroup theory. New results with detailed proofs are presented that solve previously open fundamental problems. Featuring a comprehensive overview of the relevant literature in addition to highlighting Lee’s own discoveries, the monograph is suitable for specialist researchers in the area.

Lee is a professor in the Department of Mathematics with over 20 years of experience in the research of varieties of semigroups and of other related algebraic structures. He is the world’s leading expert on equational theories of small semigroups and has co-supervised two Ph.D. students from external institutions. Lee currently serves on the editorial boards of Algebra Universalis and Semigroup Forum, two eminent specialist journals in his research area, and has to date published more than 40 single-authored peer-reviewed articles.

NSU Hosts Free Online Conference on Autism, April 1-21

The annual Issues in Autism Conference will be held online from April 1-21, 2023. Hosted by the NSU Satellite of UM-NSU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities, this year’s topic is Social Emotional Engagement:  The “Fuel” for Learning with Emily Rubin as the featured speaker. The sessions are pre-recorded so that participants can view them at their convenience. There is no cost to attend but registration is required by March 27. Register at: https://bit.ly/3ymmh1L.

About the Conference

Findings of research in social neuroscience foster our ability to create supportive learning environments where social-emotional engagement is a “fuel” for learning and emotional well-being, both with our neurodiverse students as well as our educators. While standards-based instruction is our focus in the classroom, our learners are more likely to access the curriculum when they are invested, independent, and initiating with their peers and teachers.

This session will begin with a review of the neuroscience of learning and shift toward a practical discussion of the “why” we need to measure and enhance learner engagement.  Participants will learn about the Social Engagement Ladder, a freely accessible tool for measuring learning engagement and identifying opportunities for enhancing engagement. In addition, participants will learn “what” to do when there are opportunities to enhance engagement. The session will introduce a freely accessible tool, the SEE-KS Quick Reference tool, as a reference for identifying strategies for enhancing engagement that is consistent with a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework.  Participants will also learn “how” to mentor one’s multidisciplinary team members using appreciative inquiry to identify what is already working as well as opportunities for the next steps.

Questions can be addressed to CARD@nova.edu or 954-262-7111.
