"A heavy warning used to be given [by lecturers] that pictures are not rigorous; this has never had its bluff called and has permanently frightened its victims into playing for safety. Some pictures, of course, are not rigorous, but I should say most are (and I use them whenever possible myself)."
J. E. Littlewood, 1885-1977
A PART
OF CARMA'S SPECIAL SEMESTER ON MATHEMATICAL THINKING
Workshop delegates may wish to extend their stay and attend the other workshops, "Diagrammatic Reasoning in Higher
Education" (9-11 November) and "Mathematical Thinking" (14-16 November).

EViMS was founded by Jonathan Borwein, Michael Barnsley and Judy-anne Osborn, in recognition of the significance of visualisation in the Mathematical Sciences and the increasing opportunities to do so with modern tools. Previous EViMS conferences spanned a broad swathe of this potential, demonstrating diverse computing technologies as well as mathematical sculpture, and the points of interface between the two by utilising tools such as 3D printers. The previous conferences spanned mathematics research and mathematics education, illustrating the productive synergy that may exist between the two. We the organising committee intend that this upcoming EViMS will continue to provoke and promote creativity and cross-fertilisation in these spaces.
The following speakers have been confirmed and others will be added soon.
To register for EViMS 3, please visit the workshop Eventbrite page. Although registration is free, it is required for attendance and will allow us to plan catering, et cetera.
You can sign up and submit your abstract through our on-line system. Please indicate whether you wish to give a 20-, 40- or 60-minute talk. Note that registering for our abstract system is a separate process to registering (for free!) to attend the workshop.
The workshop will be held in Newcastle, at the University of Newcastle's city campus.
There are two main areas with hotels and backpacker accommodation — Newcastle East and Honeysuckle, within easy walking distance of each other and the conference venue. Honeysuckle is a popular area with lots of restaurants with great views across the harbour. Additionally, the website wotif.com sometimes has good deals.
