Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning.

Vincenzo, who was born in Florence in 1520, was a teacher of music and a fine lute player. After studying music in Venice he carried out experiments on strings to support his musical theories. Guilia, who was born in Pescia, married Vincenzo in 1563 and they made their home in the countryside near Pisa. Galileo was their first child and spent his early years with his family in Pisa. In 1572, when Galileo was eight years old, his family returned to Florence, his father's home town. However, Galileo remained in Pisa and lived for two years with Muzio Tedaldi who was related to Galileo's mother by marriage. When he reached the age of ten, Galileo left Pisa to join his family in Florence and there he was tutored by Jacopo Borghini. Once he was old enough to be educated in a monastery, his parents sent him to the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa which is situated on a magnificent forested hillside 33 km southeast of Florence. The Camaldolese Order was independent of the Benedictine Order, splitting from it in about 1012. The Order combined the solitary life of the hermit with the strict life of the monk and soon the young Galileo found this life an attractive one. He became a novice, intending to join the Order, but this did not please his father who had already decided that his eldest son should become a medical doctor.

Years later Terquem remarked, "A candidate of superior intelligence is lost with an examiner of inferior intelligence." However, Galois found a mathematics teacher, Louis Richard, and really started studying and doing mathematics. His first paper, on continued fractions, was published when he was 17. At 18, Galois reapplied to the Poly technique, and again the examination went badly. Finally, during the oral part of the exam, he lost patience with one of the examiners and threw the eraser at him. It was a hit, but Galois could never apply there again. At 19, Galois attended the university and wrote three original papers on the theory of algebraic equations. He submitted them to the Academy of Sciences for the competition in mathematics. The Secretary of the Academy took them home to read, but then died before writing a report about them and the papers were never found. Galois was understandably upset: "Genius is condemned by a malicious social organization to an eternal denial of justice in favor of fawning mediocrity." In 1830 the French masses revolted, and Galois was a staunch supporter. The director of the school locked the students in the school during the fighting and then expelled Galois for a public letter he wrote condemning the director. Galois tried to start his own school of mathematics, but got no students, so he joined the National Guard "If a carcass is needed to stir up the people, I will donate mine." Galois was jailed for supposedly threatening the King, but was found 'not guilty' by a jury. Finally he was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail for "illegally wearing a uniform."

PROJECTS Geometry Newsletter A newsletter is a publication that provides readers with information about a specific subject or topic. For this activity you will create and produce a Geometry newsletter spanning topics we have investigated throughout the curriculum, in additon to new ideas you and your classmates will explore! Below is a list of criteria, which must be met for this project. Each of the following topics must be represented at least once in the Newsletter: logic and reasoning, constructions (could be a design), parallel lines, properties of polygons, and a non-Euclidean geometry, an article on circles, and finally a piece on trigonometry. One feature article must be about a famous mathematician who contributed to the field of Geometry. Links to interesting Geometry web sites must be provided, with a "review" of each site (at least two). A bibliography must be attached to the newsletter to cite resources used.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... Scottish Maxwell, James (1831-1879) Scottish mathematician and physicist who published physical and mathematical theories of the electromagnetic field When he first became interested in electricity, he wrote Kelvin asking how best to proceed. Kelvin recommended that Maxwell read the published works in the order Faraday Kelvin , and then the German physicists. Maxwell wanted to present electricity in its most simple form. He started out by writing a paper entitled "On Faraday's Lines of Force" (1856), in which he translated Faraday's theories into mathematical form, presenting the lines of force as imaginary tubes containing an incompressible fluid. He then published "On Physical Lines of Force" (1861) in which he treated the lines of force as real entities, based on the movement of iron filings in a magnetic field and using the analogy of an idle wheel. He also presented a derivation that light consists of transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. Finally, he published a purely mathematical theory in "On a Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1865). Maxwell's formulation of electricity and magnetism was published in A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), which included the formulas today known as the

The essay should include responses to the questions and topics listed below. A more refined version of the guiding questions will be available later. Aim for 12-15 double spaced, typewritten pages, to be turned in by Friday, August 15. I will provide a written analysis and comments to the essays within a week, and short written responses to the comments will be due back in by Friday, August 29. The course grade will be based primarily on the quality of the original essay and to a lesser extent on the responses to my comments. The essay should be on the theme of different ways to measure, understand, and appreciate mathematical creativity. The general approach should be illuminated with anecdotes and specific examples from all of the course materials. The essay should clearly incorporate insights gleaned from all the readings. Specific things to do in the essay include the following:
