Admission is free, all welcome. A public lecture with James Cote and Anton Allahar, University of Western Ontario on their 2007 book Ivory Tower Blues. Part of the book description from the publisher (UofT Press): James E. Ct and Anton L. Allahar offer an insiders account of the university system, an accurate, alternative view to that overwhelmingly presented to the general public. Throughout, the authors argue that fewer and fewer students are experiencing their university education in ways expected by their parents and the public. The majority of students are hampered by insufficient preparation at the secondary school level, lack of personal motivation, and disillusionment. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no administrative or governmental procedure in place to maintain standards of education. Ivory Tower Blues is an in-depth look at the crisis facing Canadian and American universities, the factors that are precipitating the situation, and the long-term impact this crisis will have on the quality of higher education. - Reviews from the book's web page including remarks by university administrators.
- Radio and TV interviews with the authors.

Inference from Web surveys using propensity scoring - Thursday, 8 November 2007 at 4pm, MC5158
Matthias Schonlau, The RAND Corporation
Statistics & Actuarial Science Seminar Web surveys have gained in popularity in recent years. Because respondents are usually allowed to self-select into web surveys, however, most web surveys completely ignore the tried and true statistical concept of a random sample. A "right" way to adjust for the selection bias resulting from self-selection has not yet emerged from the literature. Researchers in biostatistics have long used Rosenbaum and Rubin's propensity score methodology for causal inference from observational data. I will discuss how this approach has been applied to survey sampling and present results from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and related studies.
- Monday, November 12, 7 pm, Festival Room, SCH.
RSVP ext. 38214 (space limited). A public lecture with Frances Westley, UW-JW McConnell Chair in Social Innovation on her work and the role of the university in social innovation. Dr. Frances Westley is the Chair in Social Innovation as part of the new Social Innovation Generation (SiG at Waterloo) initiative. She has published widely in the areas of strategic change and visionary leadership, and led the Dupont Canada-fostered think-tank on social innovation, based at McGill University.s Desautel Faculty of Management. Dr. Westley is also the co-author of the new book Getting to Maybe: How the World Is Changed. (From 2017 the Workplace, Oct 14-16, 2007.) Getting to Maybe (2006) book description from the publisher (Random House): Frances Westley, Brenda Zimmerman and Michael Patton Category: Current Affairs A practical, inspirational, revolutionary guide to social innovation Many of us have a deep desire to make the world around us a better place. But often our good intentions are undermined by the fear that we are so insignificant in the big scheme of things that nothing we can do will actually help feed the world.s hungry, fix the damage of a Hurricane Katrina or even get a healthy lunch program up and running in the local school. We tend to think that great social change is the province of heroes - an intimidating view of reality that keeps ordinary people on the couch. But extraordinary leaders such as Gandhi and even unlikely social activists such as Bob Geldof most often see themselves as harnessing the forces around them, rather than singlehandedly setting those forces in motion. The trick in any great social project - from the global fight against AIDS to working to eradicate poverty in a single Canadian city - is to stop looking at the discrete elements and start trying to understand the complex relationships between them. By studying fascinating real-life examples of social change through this systems-and-relationships lens, the authors of Getting to Maybe tease out the rules of engagement between volunteers, leaders, organizations and circumstance - between individuals and what Shakespeare called "the tide in the affairs of men.." Getting to Maybe applies the insights of complexity theory and harvests the experiences of a wide range of people and organizations - including the ministers behind the Boston Miracle (and its aftermath); the Grameen Bank, in which one man's dream of micro-credit sparked a financial revolution for the world's poor; the efforts of a Canadian clothing designer to help transform the lives of aboriginal women and children; and many more - to lay out a brand new way of thinking about making change in communities, in business, and in the world.
- Wednesday, November 14, 2007, 10:30-2:30 pm, ES2-173, ES2-172A.

HOW TO THINK ABOUT SCIENCE, Part 1 of 5
- Wednesday, November 14, 9-10 pm, CBC Radio 1 Modern societies have tended to take science for granted as a way of knowing, ordering and controlling the world. Everything was subject to science, but science itself largely escaped scrutiny. This situation has changed dramatically in recent years. Historians, sociologists, philosophers and sometimes scientists themselves have begun to ask fundamental questions about how the institution of science is structured and how it knows what it knows. David Cayley talks to some of the leading lights of this new field of study. **Part 2 airs Wedneday, November 21.**
- Saturday, November 17, 2007, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm, Davis Center, UW
Registration is requested.
Attendance is free. Refreshments and pizza lunch will be provided. COMPUTER SCIENCE is Changing the World Computer science is changing the world in more ways than anybody could have imagined. The fundamental concepts of this young intellectual discipline are reshaping the way we think - the scientist, the banker, and the social worker must all think computer science. We invite grades 8, 9, 10 and 11 students, their families, and teachers to join us for our fourth CS4U @ UWaterloo Day. We'll explore the breadth and depth of computer science, what computers can and can't do, and how computer science is changing everything from entertainment to health care. The activities of the day require no computer science background - every student and teacher is welcome!
- Wednesday, November 21, 2007, 8 pm, Physics & Astronomy, Room 145. Talk by Michael Hudson, Department Physics & Astronomy, as part of the speaker series Evenings with the Stars. A tour of the observatory will follow the lecture, weather permitting. Gravitational lensing, a phenomenon used to test General Relativity in 1919, remained a curiosity for decades. Today gravitational lensing is a powerful tool to probe matter on scales ranging from a planetary masses to large-scale cosmological structure. I will review the basics of gravitational lensing and focus on some recent observational results from the Canada-France-Hawaii Legacy Survey.
Modelling the Mind: Unifying the New Brain Sciences
- Tuesday, November 27, 7 pm, Festival Room, South Campus Hall.
A reception will follow. No registration is required. Professor Chris Eliasmith, Philosophy/CS/System Design Engineering will give the Faculty of Arts 24th Annual Arts Lecture.

Keynote talk:
A Glimpse of the Past, one View of the Future
Don Cowan, Distinguished Professor Emeritus
8:45 AM to 9:30 AM in PHY 145 From vacuum tubes and wired plugboards to universal PDAs, internet television, haptic interfaces, Web 2.0, RFID and even motes, computing at the University of Waterloo and around the world has come a long way in 50 years. This presentation will briefly examine the past and make a few comparisons between past and present. The talk will then highlight one view of the future as seen through the eyes of someone whose career has focused on lowering the technology barriers to the design, implementation, maintenance, evolution and use of computer systems. Sample talk: Clickers at UW
11:45 AM to 12:30 PM in RCH 305
Paul Kates & Mark Morton Clicker use is growing at UW, as it is in other Canadian university classrooms. From four courses with 2500 students in 2006, clickers are being used in sixteen courses with over 5000 students in 2007. This session will answer the "who", "how" and important "why" of clicker use at UW. You will see sample hardware of various types, participate in a live clicker demonstration and learn how instructors and students view their introduction to clickers. A clicker is a small hand-held device, much like a remote control, that lets each student electronically "vote" in class for an answer to a question (usually multiple choice). Together with the use of concept questions and peer instruction, clickers have the potential to enrich the learning experiences of classrooms. To see how this works, view this 11 minute video excerpt From Questions to Concepts: Interactive Teaching in Physics by Eric Mazur (Physics, Harvard).

UW-ACE help
What is UW-ACE?
UW-ACE (UW ANGEL Course Environment) is an easy way to set up a web page for your course. The basic tools allow you to upload files (HTML, PDF, video, audio etc), create a syllabus, and mark up a course calendar with assignment and test dates (which lets students see all their important term dates from their UW-ACE courses in their UW-ACE calendar).
To communicate with students, UW-ACE has an internal email system (no spam) where students can email instructors and instructors can address individual students, teams of students, sections of students or the whole class. In addition, discussion forums (newsgroups) can be created in any number to handle lecture, assignment and team topics. Forums can even be moderated.
Did students understand today's lecture? It can take days or even weeks to find out if students are not keeping up. Find out with a low-stakes quiz or survey in UW-ACE. Conversely, why spend time in lecture on a topic that students demonstrate they understand very well? A low-stakes quiz can help to manage your class time. UW-ACE can also track if students are using the course materials as planned.
Other UW-ACE features include:
- Students can be grouped by UW-ACE into teams (with their own forum and file space).
- Projects, assignments and other electronic documents can be handed-in online.
- Students can look up their term-work grades.
Using UW-ACE
Individuals, department and faculty groups can contact me to arrange times for sessions on their topics of interest, e.g. gradebook and Quest mark handling, communication via email, forums and calendar, and writing LaTeX-quality math in UW-ACE pages and quizzes using javascript and HTML (without using postscript or PDF documents).
See the Welcome to UW-ACE page for information about
- configuring UW-ACE courses for first-time and experienced users
- setting up a marking scheme in the Gradebook (assignment, midterm, final)
- online grade submission via Quest
- full user documentation of the current UW-ACE/ANGEL 7.1 system
UW-ACE Winter 2008 Course Requests
Request a UW-ACE course for the Winter 2008 term by sending a note to Paul Kates or to uwacehelp@ist.uwaterloo.ca. Please give the course abbreviation (e.g. MATH 199), your preference for a new (empty) course or one copied from a previous term, and if known, the names of additional instructors and TAs.
Or, request a UW-ACE course online through UW-ACE:
- Log into UW-ACE using your UWdir/Quest/UW-ACE credentials.
- Select the UW Request a Course hyperlink found under the UW Home Tools banner on your UW-ACE Home page to see your courses.
- Select the course or courses from the drop-down list and submit your request.
- If a course is missing from your drop-down list, please use the contacts mentioned above.
UW-ACE and Term Grades: tracking progress and checking accuracy
Using UW-ACE, you can have your students look up their individual course marks without the need to post a page of annonymous class marks seen by everyone. Term marks and final marks can be assembled in a spreadsheet and easily uploaded into the Gradebook of a course. Updating course marks is just as easy. And, classlists for use with spreadsheets are available from within UW-ACE and from Quest.
To learn how easy it is to set up the Gradebook for course marks, contact me at the email address at the end of the page.
More information about handling grades with UW-ACE and online submission of final grades is located on the page UW-ACE and Quest Term Grades.
Library eReserves and UW-ACE courses
E-journal articles subscribed to by the library can quickly be made available to a class through eReserves, the library's online course resource system. In these cases no further copyright permissions are needed. See these library sites for more information:
Linking from UW-ACE to your eReserve material is easy:
- fill out the online request form for the library's copy of journal articles or books
- bring the library copies of your own articles, books, lecture notes, assignment solutions, etc
- wait 1-3 days for access to material that doesn't need copyright permission (other material can take much longer to obtain copyright permission - contact the library for advice)
- lookup your eReserve UW-ACE page
- cut the three line HTML eReserve link from the library page and paste it into any HTML text in UW-ACE (in folder instructions, HTML page, Calendar entry, syllabus, ...) or other web site

Lopez, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, USA and author of several books including Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Addison-Wesley 2001).
One student writes in the recent MaplePrimes online newsletter how useful Maple is in Number Theory and Topology courses:
I've got to say, I am super-excited by the announcement of Maple 11. Is there anything I need to do now in order to purchase a student copy in March, or will I be able to simply buy the upgrade for Maple 10 when it becomes available?
I haven't even gotten to use all the features of Maple 10 yet...although this semester I'll be giving the numtheory package a workout. I'm a student at Arizona State University, and there are lots of professors who make extensive use of Maple in their advanced courses. Dr. Matthias Kawski (my instructor for general topology this semester) has an incredibly extensive library of Maple worksheets that I think may be hyperlinked on this site, and Dr. John Jones (a professor of algebra, number theory, and their applications) has a set of Maple labs that go with a book which he co-authored, Discovering Number Theory.
I'm particularly interested in the new theoretical physics and differential geometry packages, as I hope to do research in the latter field and I'm immensely enthusiastic about the former (primarily general relativity).

Read about teaching mathematics using the computer algebra system Maple and the computer algebra assignment and quiz system MapleTA.
In addition to MapleTA, June Lowe (x33888) in Engineering uses a quiz system based on Adobe's AuthorWare software to conduct CDTs - Computer Delivered Tutorials. Typically, students work in pairs on short problems based on the concepts and techniques discussed in class.
This quiz system is similar to the UW-ACE quiz system in question types, and doesn't incorporate a computer algebra engine like MapleTA, but unique among the three quiz systems is its flow-chart style construction method and its ability to include control logic (like a program) within a quiz. A demonstration can be arranged by calling June at x33888.
