As you may know, a conference on the learning and teaching of calculus took place in August 2019 at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a second calculus conference has been delayed most likely for a summer 2023 date. We are however delighted to announce that, in the meantime, there will be a series of virtual events to note outstanding developments in research on the learning and teaching of calculus!
The first virtual event centers around a ZDM special issue (SI) on calculus, to appear in June 2021. Prior to this, the authors of the ZDM SI articles will produce video presentations of their papers (about 6 minutes each). The videos will be made available to event registrants around May 25. The June event itself will take the form of a virtual meeting of 60-90 minutes hosted by the SI editors, Pat Thompson and Guershon Harel. During the event, there will be opportunity for (i) Q&A with the authors (ii) comments on foci for future research on calculus education. SAVE THE DATE: The June event will run twice to cater for people in different time zones:
this webpage shows links to registration. We expect several similar events over the next two years as there are three more journal SIs devoted to calculus in the pipeline and a book on calculus in the IMPACT series. The events will contribute to the foci of a conference on calculus in the summer of 2023 (which we hope will be one where delegates are physically present).

Thursday - welcome
We are pleased to announce that the theme of this year's FYiM workshop to be held in Brisbane is
Celebrating 10 years of First Year in Maths!
Our first forum was in 2013 at The University of Melbourne. Let's look back on 10 years of talking about teaching maths and statistics at the first-year level. What is still relevant? What has changed? What new challenges lie ahead?
Here is the programme.
Details of the workshop are:
When: Thursday 6 July and Friday 7 July - 10 am to 5 pm
Where: The University of Queensland, St Lucia campus and via Zoom
Cost: FREE! Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided thanks to UQ's School of Maths and Physics. You are welcome to join us for dinner (at own cost) on Thursday night at a local/CBD restaurant.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny Brisbane!
