The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences is now accepting
nominations for two PIMS Education Prizes.  Each prize is CAD $1000.

Each prize will be awarded to a member of the PIMS community who has
made a significant contribution to education in the mathematical
sciences. This prize is intended to recognize individuals from the
PIMS universities or other educational institutions in Alberta and
British Columbia, who have played a major role in encouraging
activities which have enhanced public awareness and appreciation of
mathematics, as well as fostering communication among various groups
and organizations concerned with mathematical training at all levels.

Sponsors are to provide a cover letter explaining the nominee's
contribution, impact and relevance for the prize.  The nomination
should also include a CV of the nominee, including publications, a
brief summary of major accomplishments, and relevant samples of the
nominee's work, such as reprints or educational materials.
