为活跃我院学术气氛，加强我院与国外高校之间的学术交流，我院国际交流与合作处邀请美国北密西根大学数学与计算机系终身教授Don Faust博士前来我院进行了为期一个月的学术交流。

Don Faust教授先后为我院数学系、信息工程学院和外语系的师生做了六场学术报告，分别是：（1）Three Important Questions in Mathematics (1. How many real numbers are there? 2. What is the origin of radix sixty? 3. Do infinitely small numbers exist?)（2）What are the new logics? What are their applications? And what are their structures like?（3）"What are the new logics, what are their applications in AI, and what are their structures like?"（4）"Automata Theory: what is it, and how fundamental is it to the operational goals of Computer Science?"（5）"Teaching and Learning: Explorationist Perspectives?" – Part A（6）"Teaching and Learning: Explorationist Perspectives?" – Part B.

此外，Don Faust教授还分别与数学系和信息工程学院的教师进行了学术讨论和交流，并积极参加我院英语角等活动，与我院学生进行了广泛接触，受到师生的一致好评。Don Faust教授还将为我院与北密西根大学之间的进一步交流与合作做出努力。
