| Institution: | Ann Kitchen is a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. After an early career with IBM as a systems analyst, she taught mathematics in an 11–18 school until 1988. Since then she has worked in the field of curriculum development for post-16 Mathematics, especially mechanics. She is also involved with the development and assessment of the NEAB 16–19 Mathematics A-level. In addition she is currently the Chair of the General Council of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics Mike Savage, formerly a member of the Applied Mathematics Department at Leeds University is now a professor of Physics and Astronomy there. Joint leader with Julian Williams of The Mechanics in Action Project with curriculum interests in mathematical modelling and problem solving. Research interests include fluid dynamics and the mechanics of thin films and coatings. Joint leader of the Interdisciplinary Coatings Research Group which is engaged in both fundamental and applied research for the coatings industry Julian Williams, formerly a school mathematics teacher, is currently Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, director of the Centre for Mathematics Education and Deputy Dean of research. His research interests include the teaching and learning of mathematics, mathematical modelling and applications in science, technology and vocational education. |
