LINEAR ALGEBRA CURRICULUM STUDY GROUP (LACSG)

Formed in 1990 by David Carlson, Charles Johnson (William and Mary), David Lay (Maryland), and Duane Porter (Wyoming), to "initiate substantial and sustained national interest in improving the undergraduate linear algebra curriculum". Held NSF-funded Workshop in 1990 which developed recommendations which included a core course syllabus for the first course in linear algebra. Organized Special Sessions at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings (1991-98). Compiled "Resources for Teaching Linear Algebra", MAA Notes, Volume 42. Compiled, with NSF support, a collection "Gems of Elementary Linear Algebra"; insightful proofs and expositions, and a variety of new problems and problem sets.

AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION

ASSOCIATION OF OREGON FACULTIES, 1979-1982

• Vice-President 1979-1981.

The Association of Oregon Faculties is a voluntary dues-paying association of approximately 1000 faculty members in the Oregon State System of Higher Education. Its purpose is to provide lobbying support in the state legislative and executive branches for the faculty viewpoint in higher education. While Chairman of the Oregon Interinstitutional Faculty Senate in 1977, I authored a proposal for a faculty lobbying organization, which led to the formation of the Association of Oregon Faculties in 1979.
