"Mary Ellen will be remembered as a visionary, who saw very early on the value of online collaboration, modeling software, and visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all as tools in teaching science," said Roscoe Giles, general chair of SC2002 and team leader of EOT-PACI. "She will be greatly missed by her colleagues and students, however, through this dedication, she will be remembered by all of us who believe in improving the quality of math and science education and in merging real science with real teaching," added Scott Lathrop, co-chair of the SC2002 Education Program.
