The goals of the excercise must be defined very clearly before any evaluation of vehicles is attempted. The entire discussion of LaTEX in communicating math is, I believe, a product of some confusion about goals. TEX was designed to produce visible representations of various types of data, from straight text to tables to equations. The goal in Knuth's effort was to satisfy HUMAN users' need to recognize the data and deal with it at a human level. If we accept this goal as our basis, then coding to define the visual interrelationships among math expressions defines our view of success. If we can send some data that is easily translated into a graphic, we are successful and we don't need SGML to do that. Indeed, SGML was never intended to directly convey graphic representations (although it is quite capable of being used in that way.)

Summer Program for Women in Mathematics at George Washington University From Stephanie Mosier of Xavier University: I was a participant in the Summer Program for Women in Mathematics at George Washington University during the summer after my Junior year, 2000. This program had 16 participants, and we lived in apartment style dorms- 4 people to an apartment-2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, and living room. We received a stipend and our travel, room and board were paid for the 5 weeks of the program. The 5 week program consists of 2 three week courses and 2 two week courses. During class, we would frequently work in groups and at the end of each course, we gave a group presentation on a specific topic in the field. So, we gained experience communicating math topics both orally and in writing. In addition to the courses, we had a field trip once a week-we went to the NSA, Census Bureau, NIST, and Smithsonian Math Library. Every Tues. and Thurs., we had colloquia and then went to dinner as a group. Also, we had panel discussions on grad school and career opportunities. In addition to the interesting math that we learned during the program, it was fun to be in Washington, DC for the summer. We saw the fireworks on the 4th and on the weekends, we went to museums, monuments, etc. Plus it is worth mentioning that they feed you very well during the program. :)

Don't miss the up-to-the-minute U.S. and world population clocks. The Mathematical Art of M.C. Escher The Man Who Makes Sense of Numbers A Fortune article describing the work of Yale professor Edward Tufte, whose mission is to improve the way we visually present data and information. Getting the Picture: Communicating Data Visually According to U.S. census estimates, the population of Texas grew from 17,045,000 people in 1990 to 18,378,000 in 1994. The population of Massachusetts grew from 6,018,000 people in 1990 to 6,041,000 people in 1994. If the population figures above were difficult for you to read and absorb, you're not alone. Reading about data can be awkward. When it's presented like this, it's hard to grasp the essential information and to see the important messages that may be behind the numbers. If this information were presented as a chart or, better yet, as a picture, it would be much easier to understand. Charts and tables Let's try presenting the population figures above as a table.

55. Math In Daily Life -- Population Growth Find out how charts and graphs can help clarify information in Getting the Picture communicating Data Visually. . math in Daily Life is inspired by programs http://www.learner.org/exhibits/dailymath/population.html

I n the last few centuries, the number of people living on Earth has increased many times over. By the year 2000, there will be 10 times more people on Earth than there were 300 years ago. How can population grow so fast? Think of a family tree. At the top are 2 parents, and beneath them the children they had. Listed beneath those children are the children they had, and so on and so on, down through each generation. As long as the family members continue to reproduce, the family tree continues to increase in size, getting larger with each passing generation. This same basic idea applies to the world's population. Exponential growth Population grows in the same way that money grows when it's left to compound interest in a bank. With money, growth comes through accumulating interest upon interest. The interest payments you accumulate eventually earn interest, increasing your money. With population growth, new members of the population eventually produce other new members of the population. The population increases exponentially as time passes. WORLD POPULATION Year Population A crucial difference between money and population is that money can increase without limits while population can't. Any population of living creatures is constrained by the availability of food, water, land, or other important resources. Once those resources are depleted, a population won't continue to grow exponentially. It will plateau, or even decline, as a result of disease or malnutrition. Unlike calculating interest, calculating population growth is an imprecise business.

56. What Is Changing In Math Ed? Instead, their products are better characterized as communicating about math, written and spoken words and pictures that have something to do with math http://www.mathematicallycorrect.com/what.htm

What is Changing in Math Education? Mathematically Correct PO Box 22083, San Diego, CA 92192-2083 The impending changes in mathematics education are not based on any change in the mathematics that has been developed over thousands of years. Rather, they are based on a cluster of notions from teaching philosophy and a desire to implement them all at once. The driving force behind these changes is dissatisfaction with the continued declines in the achievement of American students, coupled with the idea that a set of goals should be developed that all students can attain. The position taken is that poor math achievement is the result of the traditional curriculum and the way it has been implemented by teachers. The fact that math education in countries with high levels of achievement does not look like these new programs, but rather like intensified versions of our own traditional programs, is never addressed. One of the philosophical components is the idea of Constructivism or discovery learning. This notion holds that students will learn math better if they are left to discover the rules and methods of mathematics for themselves, rather than being taught by teachers or textbooks. This is not unlike the Socratic method, minus Socrates. One of the problems with this approach is that teachers must be extremely skilled in these methods. Another is that "discovery" takes so long that considerably less material can be covered. A third problem is that the children sometimes "discover" the wrong "rules" and teachers don't always catch the error.

Investigations -Related Resources for Communicating with Families The curriculum was designed with the needs of teachers, students, and their families in mind. The resources described below were included in order to help teachers communicate important information—about mathematics, about what students are learning and doing in math, and about how they can help their children become powerful mathematical thinkers—to parents and families. Family Letters Every unit in the Investigations curriculum includes a Family Letter that briefly describes and discusses the mathematical ideas children are working on in class, and suggests some ways to explore mathematics at home. (These letters are available in English Spanish Hmong Vietnamese ... Cambodian , and Cantonese Investigations At-Home Booklets An Investigations At Home Booklet is available for every unit in the Investigations curriculum, grades 1 through 5.

MATHEMATICS The Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics were developed by Illinois teachers for Illinois schools. These goals, standards and benchmarks are an outgrowth of the 1985 Illinois State Goals for Learning influenced by the latest thinking in school mathematics. This includes the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics ; ideas underlying recent local and national curriculum projects; results of state, national, and international assessment findings; and the work and experiences of Illinois school districts and teachers. Mathematics is a language we use to identify, describe and investigate the patterns and challenges of everyday living. It helps us to understand the events that have occurred and to predict and prepare for events to come so that we can more fully understand our world and more successfully live in it. Mathematics encompasses arithmetic, measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and other fields. It deals with numbers, quantities, shapes and data, as well as numerical relationships and operations. Confronting, understanding and solving problems is at the heart of mathematics. Mathematics is much more than a collection of concepts and skills; it is a way of approaching new challenges through investigating, reasoning, visualizing and problem solving with the goal of communicating the relationships observed and problems solved to others.
