</font><font face="Verdana" size=5 color="#4F81BD"><b>Second announcement
of Sharing Mathematics: A Tribute to Jim Totten<br>
</b></font><font face="Verdana" size=2><br>
In March 2008 the mathematical community lost our dear colleague Dr.
James Totten. Jim's work in research, outreach, teaching and
problem solving spanned over 30 years. A conference celebrating
Jim’s spirit will be held May 13-15, 2009 at Thompson Rivers University
in Kamloops, BC.<br>
<br>
The conference themes are outreach, enrichment, and innovation in
mathematics education. <br>

influence and efforts in the area of enrichment and outreach.<br>
