Extractions: It is a general fact that undergraduate students do not really understand calculus until they've taken analysis. In the same way, one could make the case that students do not really understand college algebra until they've seen a general treatment of the theory of numbers, analysis, and some abstract algebra. In a college algebra course, how much understanding do we expect? For example, if we want students to know that x + y = y + x where x and y are real numbers, would we really prove it using converging sequences of rational numbers? Professor Goodman does in his book, Algebra From A to Z , Volumes 1-5. This is not an isolated example, but does give the flavor of the text. This sequence of booklets (which I'm referring to collectively as a book) reminds me of a problem that faces many parents. Suppose your 5 year old asks you, "Why is the sky blue?". We could either say, "because it is", or we could go into a lengthy discussion of the chemical composition of the sky, and perhaps throw some physics in for good measure. Of course, most people would do the former, simply because the child is (probably) not ready for the real reason. In the same way, if a college algebra student asks you why x + y = y + x, how would you respond? My problem with this book is not with its mathematics, or with its text (which is written in a conversational style), but with the book's audience- Who exactly will be reading this book? It is stated in the preface that this book is intended for a student that has some algebra, but "does not really understand what is going on". So again I would ask the author exactly what level of understanding can we reasonably expect from a novice? Sometimes I think we, as mature mathematicians, forget that it took us years of training and a love of the abstract to even begin to understand the complexities of what we took for granted in our youth (i.e., arithmetic). I would allow students at the College Algebra level to be more or less procedural (although I may be in the minority with that opinion), and let their minds evolve a little before going into abstraction and subtlety that demands a level of maturity and experience that most algebra students do not have.

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand April 1, 1996 When a famous mathematician has something new to say, the whole world pays attention. Euclid's Elements, which presented the state of the art in geometry around 300 B.C., has been extraordinarily influential. This massive, 13-volume compendium set the standard for precise mathematical exposition and discourse for many centuries. More than 2,000 editions have been published, and new, interactive versions now appear on the World Wide Web. But that's not all. Now there exists compelling evidence that Euclid had a fourteenth book in mind. Officials of the Foundation for Old Occidental Languages announced today that, after a year devoted to authentication and analysis, they are prepared to release the text of a manuscript that appears to be a Latin translation of research notes jotted down by Euclid in preparation for writing a fourteenth volume of Elements "This is truly an astonishing document," says Duncan D. Umber of St. Patrick's College of Medieval Studies, who examined the manuscript last month. "Euclid went much farther in his investigations than anyone had previously suspected. "People continually underestimate what the ancients were able to do," he adds. "We will need to reassess Greek mathematics in its entirety."

In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive.

Jouons sous les bras de cet Atlas qui porte le ciel, faisons des drames, des odes, des guenilles! Aimez-moi, consolez-moi d'être si petit.» [ Voltaire à l'abbé d'Olivet] Newton est né en Angleterre en 1642 d'une famille simple de fermiers à peu près analphabètes, comme s'il avait voulu narguer ceux qui tentent de saisir le mystère insondable du génie. Son père meurt quelque temps avant sa naissance. À l'âge de trois ans, le jeune Isaac est pris en charge par sa grand-mère maternelle. À 19 ans, il entre au Trinity College de Cambridge mais la peste, qui sévit en Angleterre en 1665 et 1666, le contraint à quitter l'Université. Il revient alors dans sa région natale. En 1666, ses méditations solitaires l'amènent à établir les assises de la spectroscopie et à amorcer les réflexions qui mèneront à ses découvertes ultérieures. La seule année comparable à celle-ci dans l'histoire de la physique, pense Carl Sagan, est 1905, «l'année-miracle d'

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. W ell, no one can predict the future. We can only say what's likely to happen. That uncertainty has always left us uneasy. I suspect uneasiness is what kept us from inventing probability theory until the 1600s. Today, we take it for granted that the world is indeterminate, and we work within its fuzziness. We use laws of probability to write life insurance and to pull signals out of surrounding noise. But first we had to change the way we looked at things. When an English mathematician, Isaac Todhunter, wrote the history of probability in 1865, he found it'd been created by people wrestling with two great unpredictables of life with dice and death! When you roll dice, there's only one way to roll a two or a twelve, but six ways to roll a seven. The ancients played more complex games using three dice, not just two. Yet they wrote little about the likelihood of numbers. Dante touched on the dice question in his
