LAPTOPS: We have one computer lab and one classroom available for this workshop. Delegates are therefore encouraged to bring a laptop.

This is NOT a requirement as we should get enough to share, etc.

For this workshop, TSM is extremely fortunate to be able to offer delegates the use of the outstanding computer facilities at International School of Nice, France, by kind permission of Dorothy Foster, Director

You are encouraged to bring your own PC or MAC LAPTOP
- All delegates will receive a complimentary personal copy of the latest version of 'Autograph 3 '
- and the highly prasied TSM Resources CD: over 300Mb of files and tutorials in mathematical ICT.

This workshop is being arranged independently from the main ECIS November Conference at the Nice Acropolis which commences on Friday 17th Nov. If participants also wish to attend the regular conference, they must register separately with the ECIS Secretariat.

HOTEL and BUS PICK-UP:
It is recommended that TSM Delegates extend their ECIS hotel booking back one night.
