MEF

Your contribution at work!

---

Some great news arrived in our email box from Bill Ince of MFCF earlier this term with an update of where some of the funds from MEF have been used.

The story begins two terms ago in Winter '96. A proposal was made in that term by MFCF for improvements to the undergrad.math environment. The proposal was granted $5400 to be spent as MFCF sees fit in the improvement of the undergrad.math environment. This money funded a part of a project to implement a new machine in the environment called picard.math. It's a Sparc Ultra 1/140 running Solaris 2.5 with 128 MB of memory and 3 GB of disk space. It is currently in use as one of the general purpose ``CPU servers'' in the teaching environment (the so-called undergrad.math collection of machines). This is one of the first major purchases that the fund has been able to assist.

Other funding projects in previous terms include funding for seminars and workshops by the various departments. The MEF bulletin board (located outside MC 4046) will have more information posted on the various events and proposals that have been sponsored by MEF in the next few weeks.
