NMC students, faculty, and staff are invited to a free presentation of Calculus: The Musical! Friday, May 2, from 10-11 a.m. in Milliken Auditorium at the Dennos Museum.

The review of the concepts and history of calculus include musical tributes to The Beatles, Gilbert & Sullivan, Petula Clark and Eminem, just a few of the artists who have inspired this engaging and educational lesson that is nothing at all like your high school or college textbooks. Calculus: The Musical! promises to be entertaining to the arithmophobe and the rocket scientist alike. (more…)

Hello, my name is Madison Williams and I have dystonia. Dystonia is a movement disorder that makes my muscles contract in many painful ways.

The Foundation provides resources about treatments, specialists and even connections with support groups, to families who have a family member with Dystonia. In an effort to support DMRF’s cause, Dystance4Dystonia spreads awareness, generates donations for DMRF, lets those in attendance show support for their loved ones, and supports their mission to make the freedom to move a reality for everyone by making medical advancements with treatment options and one day finding a cure!

On April 16, Rowman & Littlefield will release Motorsports and American Culture: From Demolition Derbies to NASCAR. Co-edited by communications instructor Dr. Mark Howell and Dr. John Miller, a professor of English at Longwood University in Virginia, a motorsports scholar.
The book is a collection of essays covering all facets of motorsports commonly seen in North America. Scholars from across the United States provided articles exploring a diverse assortment of topics — everything from gender and ethnicity in NASCAR to 19th-century train wrecks staged before spectators at the Iowa State Fair. Research into various forms of motorsports have never been collected in one book before until now.
The book will be introduced at the national Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association conference in Chicago next week; Howell will be at the meeting presenting a lecture on recent policies within NASCAR introduced to address the growing problem of serious brain trauma.
