Minicourse #10: "Mathematical algorithms, models, and graphic representations using spreadsheets"
Organized by Deane Arganbright, University of Papua New Guinea; Erich Neuwirth, University of Vienna; and Robert S. Smith, Miami University.

This minicourse will draw on examples from calculus, precalculus, finite mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, geometry, number theory, and discrete dynamical systems to illustrate a variety of mathematical concepts. In addition to its considerable power to process data, the modern spreadsheet possesses exceptional graphics capabilities. These capabilities will be used creatively to design interactive mathematical displays which illustrate algorithms and dynamic models. Additionally, these graphics will be used to create classical curves, tessellations, and elementary fractal patterns.
