Congratulations again to our colleague, Professor Emeritus Eric Muller, whose outstanding contributions and commitment in mathematics education were recognized through renaming our Math & Stats Learning Centre after him, and now mentioned in the Newsletter of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, published on March 15, 2025:
Math Learning Centre named after Professor Eric R. Muller
It may be rather rare nowadays that a university room be named after a person, not in gratitude for a generous financial donation—however important these may be in the life of universities—, but as a tribute to academic excellence and dedication. Such an event occurred recently at Brock University (Canada), when the Learning Centre of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics became the “Eric Muller Math & Stats Learning Centre”.
