	Quotations by Weyl
		A modern mathematical proof is not very different from a modern machine, or a modern test setup: the simple fundamental principles are hidden and almost invisible under a mass of technical details.
		We cannot help the feeling that certain mathematical structures which have evolved through the combined efforts of the mathematical community bear the stamp of a necessity not affected by the accidents of their historical birth.
		The question of the ultimate foundations and the ultimate meaning of mathematics remains open; we do not know in what direction it will find its final solution or even whether a final objective answer can be expected at all.

	Benjamin Finkel
		The American Mathematical Monthly will, therefore, devote a due portion of its space to the solution of problems, whether they be the easy problems in Arithmetic, or the difficult problems in the Calculus, Mechanics, Probability, or Modern Higher Mathematics.
		It was proposed to hold an organizational meeting in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Columbus, Ohio, on December 30-31, 1915.
		This meeting was the result of a movement initiated in the spring of 1915 for the improvement of teaching collegiate mathematics in the colleges of Kansas.

	Mathematical Association of America
		The Mathematical Association of America was set up to manage publication of the American Mathematical Monthly which had begun publication in 1894.
		The Monthly was the brainchild of Benjamin Finkel who was a schoolteacher at the Kidder Institute in Missouri.
		Support from universities was going to be crucial to the success of the venture and Finkel had made sure that from the very beginning he had the support of leading university teachers such as Eliakim Moore.

	American Scientist Online - Why W? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The concept at the root of W can be traced back through more than two centuries of the mathematical literature, but the function itself has had a name only for the past 10 years or so.
		For a mathematical function, multiple values are an embarrassment of riches; a well-bred function is supposed to map each value in its domain to a single value in its range.
		In a vacuum, as Galileo knew, the ballistic path is a parabola, and the maximum range is attained when the projectile is launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

	Responding to Calls for Change in High School Mathematics
		This article provides an overview of mathematics reform in high school, and reports on research evidence related to the Core-Plus Mathematics Project (CPMP), one of the new NSF-funded curriculum projects, including its effectiveness in preparing students for the study of collegiate mathematics.
		The authors discuss the recent history of mathematics reform in high school, pointing out the links between reform efforts in high school mathematics and recommendations from the mathematical community.
		Students' readiness for continued study of mathematics at the collegiate level is also addressed.

	AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY -April 2005
		This article studies the topology of spaces of polygons in the plane using advanced calculus and elementary notions from Morse theory.
		The basic approach and main results are not new, but, for the most part the arguments have been simplified to follow from standard parts of the upper-level undergraduate mathematics curriculum.
		The article concludes by applying the techniques to the particular case of spaces of pentagons, where, for example, we recover the fact that the space of equilateral pentagons is topologically an orientable surface of genus four.

		However, I have published papers in a wide range of fields, including combinatorics, topology, analysis, philosophy of mathematics, and foundations of quantum mechanics.
		Many high school students view mathematics as a collection of formulas to be used to calculate numerical answers.
		To succeed in college-level mathematics, they must learn to think of mathematics as involving reasoning, rather than merely calculation.

	Review of "Prime Obsession"
		Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that a scientist employs mathematics to model phenomena, but the real subject is those phenomena themselves, which can be described generally without any mathematics.
		Still, as usual in mathematics, the payoff for such attention is great, and at the end of the book the careful reader will feel a real appreciation for Riemann’s achievement.
		It is mentioned, for example, that two different definitions for the logarithmic integral exist, an American one that is implemented in Mathematica and the European one that Riemann used.

	Introduction to the Modern Theory of Dynamical Systems
		The theory of dynamical systems is a major mathematical discipline closely intertwined with all main areas of mathematics.
		On the other hand the book may be used by advanced undergraduates in mathematics, graduate students in any area of the mathematical sciences and graduate students in science and engineering with a strong mathematical background as well as researchers in any area of mathematics, science or engineering.
		Since a considerable part of the material of the book is either previously unpublished or presented in an essentially new way it is also of interest to experts in dynamical systems.
