International Education Week Events

Among the events planned at Dalton State are a free screening of the 2001 French romantic comedy “Amelie” on Thursday, November 17 at 7 p.m. at the College’s Goodroe Auditorium of Gignilliat Memorial Hall. The film, which has English subtitles, was nominated for five academy awards and was named “Best Film” at the European Film Awards.

“Amelie” is set in Montmartre and tells the story of a young French girl, Amelie, played by Audrey Tautou, who sets out to perform random acts of kindness for people in her village and is rewarded with love and adventure. The film is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Math Problem of the Week

The Department of Mathematics at Dalton State College has launched an online “Math Problem of the Week” and invites readers to test their computational knowledge.

In addition to the Math Problem of the Week, there is the Challenge Problem of the Week which amps up the difficulty factor. Both appear on the Dalton State website (www.daltonstate.edu/math-problem-of-the-week/)


For now, the only prize for being first to solve the problem or the challenge is glory and bragging rights, but that may change at some point.
