	Underwood Dudley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Underwood Dudley (born January 6, 1937) is a mathematician formerly of DePauw University who has written a number of research works and textbooks, but is best known for his popular writing.
		Dudley has also written and edited straightforward mathematical works such as Readings for Calculus (MAA 1993, ISBN 0883850877) and Elementary Number Theory (W.H. Freeman 1978, ISBN 071670076X).
		Underwood Dudley is a native of New York City.

	Willet Paper #1
		Dudley agrees with this statement; his main premise is that mathematics, from the world’s viewpoint, is a way of thinking as opposed to the thought.
		Dudley argues that mathematics is not taught so students can someday go out on the job with confidence of knowing the derivative of sin(x), but that the subject exists in the classroom to teach students how to think [1].
		Underwood Dudley noted that fully seventy percent of engineers, those persons who are renowned for actually having to implement mathematics in their daily work, do not need calculus to perform their work.

		It sounds as if Dr Dudley may feel he's contributed more to the fields of math and science than Pythagoras.
		This may be justified since too many published numerology books offer only a glimpse into the complex science, and/or fail to put it in the best context.
		However, numerology (otherwise known as number mysticism) is a form of mysticism and anyone who has objectively studied the science comes to understand that events and personality traits are represented by numbers, not controlled by them.

		These latter people, numerologists, are the subject of Dudleys most recent examination of the abuses and misuses of numbers...Dudley provides a history of numerology starting with Pythaogras and his number mystic disciples some 2500 years ago, and provides numerous examples, past and present.
		Dudley Underwood's book attempts to debunk both New Age and quasi-Christian use of numerology.
		In yet another of his excellent attempts to overcome silliness in the name of mathematics, Underwood Dudley presents a reasonably strong case against numerology.

	Read This: Numerology
		A root of many inappropriate uses of numbers lies in the Pythagorean notion that "all is number," a notion which attributes to numbers emotional or physical properties which they do not possess.
		The fascination of some with numbers derived from measurements of Stonehenge and/or the great pyramid of Egypt is another Dudley target, as are biorhythms and the erroneous discovery of the golden ratio in strange places.
		Since many of the topics Dudley covers are themselves the subjects of whole books (Dudley gives references), Dudley's descriptions are necessarily incomplete.

		Unlike most professors, Dudley hasnt tossed out crank submissions over the years; hes saved them, and collected samples from other mathematicians.
		And what wonderful samples they are...Dudley never loses sight of cranks humanity, never stoops to ridicule (well, unless its absolutely irresistible) and doesnt put established mathematicians on a pedestal.
		Unfortunately, a crank never arrives at the real reason, namely that their work is simply wrong.

		Besides a chance to meet students from elsewhere in the region (in previous years, some students have come from as far away as Ohio for this event!) who are excited about math, the conference also offers two invited lectures by Professor Underwood Dudley of DePauw University, entitled ``Mathematical Cranks" and ``Formulas for Primes".
		Professor Dudley was a featured speaker at an MAA meeting at Carleton a few years ago, and his lectures are definitely entertaining, thought-provoking, and informative.
		The conference is on Friday and Saturday, March 30--31 (the first weekend of spring term).
