Elishakoff co-organized the European Mechanics Colloquium on “Refined Dynamical Theories of Beams, Plates and Shells, and Their Applications” in Kassel, Federal Republic of Germany.In 1990 he co-organized the Second International Conference on Stochastic Structural Dynamics, in Boca Raton, Florida.In 1990, he co-organized the Symposium on “Symbolic Computations and Their Impact on Mechanics” at the 111th Winter Annual Meeting of the ASME, in Dallas, TX.In 1992, he co-organized a joint FAU-University of Federal Armed Forces-Hamburg (FRG) Conference on “Recent Developments in Solid Mechanics”.In 1996 he organized an “International Conference on Uncertain Structures” in Miami and the Western Caribbean.In 1997 he coordinated a special course, “Uncertainty in Engineering Probability, Fuzziness and Anti-Optimization” in the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM), in Udine, Italy, within its Hertz Session. He also has organized numerous sessions at national and international meetings worldwide, including the sessions at the ASME meetings.In 2001 he co-organized a special course, “Stability of Structures: Modern Problems and Unconventional Solutions\u201d at CISM, Udine, Italy, Europe.In 2005, he organized a special course \u201cMechanical Vibrations: Where Do We Stand?\u201d at CISM, Udine, Italy, Europe.In 2011 he co-organized a special course in \u201cNondeterministic Mechanics\u201d, at CISM, Udine, Italy, Europe.Volumes Dedicated to I. Elishakoff[edit]In 2021, Professors Noel Challamel (University of South Brittany, France), Julius Kaplunov (University of Keele, United Kingdom) and Izuru Takewaki (Kyoto University, Japan) edited three books titled, Modern Trends in Structural and Solid Mechanics, in honor of Isaac Elishakoff, with volumes:Vol. 1 Statics and Stability,[17]Vol. 2 Vibrations,[18]Vol. 3 Non-Deterministic Mechanics.[19]First Homeland Security Engineering Course[edit]In addition to extensive research he has developed numerous undergraduate and graduate courses, including apparently the first engineering course worldwide \u201cDesign for Homeland Security\u201d (see his paper \u201cApparently first engineering course in homeland safety and security worldwide,\u201d International Journal of Safety and Security in Engineering, Vol.3(4),333-338, 2014).Passion for Teaching: Response to Stephen Colbert[edit]Here is a quote on the quadratic formula from I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert:\u201cLet\u2019s try a little experiment. Look at this equation:x=\u2212b\u00b1b2\u22124ac2a{displaystyle x={frac {-bpm {sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}}}What you are feeling right now, is your body rejecting an idea that is trying to make you learn it. Don\u2019t fight the confusion. That\u2019s just your mind scabbing over in a desperate attempt to protect you from that unnatural commingling of numbers and letters up there. You can\u2019t add it, and you can\u2019t read it. Useless.\u201dElishakoff  wrote an extensive response to Mr. Colbert\u2019s statements.[20][21] Likewise, he described differential equations of love in order to promote  love of differential equations by undergraduate students.[22] As of February 1, 2023, these papers have been downloaded 14,230 times.[23][24] With J. N. Reddy, Elishakoff has written on solving quadratic equations without resorting to quadratic formula.[25]Passion for History[edit]Additional passion of Elishakoff is history of science. In recent years he published several revelatory articles [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] about Stephen P. Timoshenko (1878-1972), famous author of numerous textbooks in applied mechanics. The article \u201c Stepan Prokofievich Timoshenko and America\u201d became one of the most downloaded articles of The Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, also known as Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik or ZAMM, during years 2018\/19.References[edit]^ “Professor Isaac Elishakoff in FAU”.^ “Publication Timeline”.^ “Member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics”.^ “Member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Sound and Vibration”.^ “ICOSSAR 2017 Conference” (PDF).^ “FAU Engineering Professor Receives Prestigious ‘Blaise Pascal Medal’“.^ “Visiting Freimann professor of University of Notre Dame 1985” (PDF).^ “Visiting Freimann professor of University of Notre Dame 1986” (PDF).^ “Visiting Massman professor of University of Notre Dame 1986” (PDF).^ “Member of American Academy of Mechanics” (PDF).^ “Seminar of Prof. Elishakoff in the Sapienza University of Rome”. 2 May 2017.^ “Foreign Member of Georgian National Academy of Sciences”.
