The National Science Foundation has funded seven major projects in a program entitled,"Mathematics Across the Disciplines."  The purpose of the program is to change the way undergraduate education is designed and executed.  The NSF criteria called for institution-wide reform and models for changing the culture at the schools awarded grants under the program.
The seven projects currently underway will be described.  One of the projects is entitled, "Project Intermath," a consortium of 15 schools led by West Point and COMAP. The objectives of Intermath include developing "Interdisciplinary Lively  Applications Projects," initiating an Interdisciplinary Modeling Contest, and six major curriculum projects.
Products from Project Intermath will be demonstrated.
 

COMAP was originally funded by the NSF in 1975 to develop modules entitled Undergraduate Mathematics Applications Projects (UMAPs).  Today, COMAP is leading a wide range of K-16 activities.  In this talk we will discuss the
mathematical contest in modeling, the interdisciplinary contest in modeling, the high school contest in modeling, and Math Serve, a contest  recognizing voluntary efforts by the mathematical sciences resulting in social good.  We will discuss undergraduate curriculum projects including:
For All Practical Purposes, Against All Odds, Principles and Practices of Mathematics as well as curricula currently under development:  a high school modeling curriculum, interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum projects being tested by Project Intermath, and an undergraduate methods course for secondary educators.
