Dr. Gloria Ann Stillman (Australia) has been awarded the Henry Pollak Award. She received the ICTMA Career Research Medal at ICTMA-21 in September 2023.
The ICTMA group has held biennial meetings since 1983. This conference series provides a forum for discussing all aspects of teaching applications and modelling in all areas and at all levels of mathematics education - from primary to secondary schools, at colleges and universities.
