    http://www.math.virginia.edu/Jefferson/jeff_r(7).htm
    
    Extractions: Mathematics Education in the Public Sphere In relation to American mathematics education in the wider sphere, we see Jefferson’s promotion of mathematics as a matter of public policy in two important educational institutions whose spirits breathe a Jeffersonian world-view. It was during Jefferson’s presidency that the United States Military Academy was established at West Point—it formally opened on July 4th 1802—and it is felt that Jefferson’s influence played a part in its coming to develop such a strong mathematical cast. Even though it took some time to find its feet and it wasn’t until after 1817 that West Point began to establish its reputation as a major powerhouse of mathematical instruction, such a conception was in Jefferson’s mind from the 1790s (as seen in a letter of November 23rd, 1799). The other major and equally influential educational institution which Jefferson created, at every level from site and architecture to syllabus and appointments, is, of course, the University of Virginia, in its conception the most enlightened and liberal college of the New World. In his plans for this institution mathematics had a more prominent place than at most American colleges of the period. Another feature is his sending back to Europe for teachers. This was not uncontroversial, but Jefferson was surely right that that is what the country needed: it hadn’t yet a critical mass of scholars to be self-sustaining in teaching, let alone research, at the level to which Jefferson was aiming.

44. How I Learned English (successful English Learner Story) - Apronus.com
    Over a year ago I decided to use english only in mathematical notes. I read andwrite math materials in english, like most professional mathematicians.  
    http://www.apronus.com/learn_english/mrw_story.htm
    
    Extractions: How I learned English (I wrote this story in 2001.) My full name is Michal Ryszard Wojcik. I live in Poland and Polish is my native language. I am a mathematician and an enthusiast of English. I learned English very well and now I want to share my experience with other people. I had my first contact with English when I was six. My dad inspired me to listen to The Beatles. I listened to them every day for the next seven years. In the beginning I could understand nothing of what they were singing. But soon I started to understand individual words, especially the ones which appeared in the titles. Later I got a book with the words of all the songs. I read the book many times. I learned many songs by heart. I sang the songs to myself. Still, I understood very little of the meaning. It became my dream to learn English so well that I could understand The Beatles. So The Beatles were my first motivation. That is how I started my way toward English. Today, I can understand The Beatles very clearly. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am delighted and proud because I have made my childhood dream come true. I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I listen every day, sometimes for over seven hours a day. I am constantly aware of my success with English because I can understand the lyrics of the songs I listen to. And that gives me pleasure and satisfaction for many hours every day. When I was 13 years old, I started reading science fiction books. I read in Polish. The books were all American. I could not read the original versions because I did not know English so well. As I read in Polish, I was more and more eager to read the books in English. Somehow I felt that in English the books will be even more interesting and reading will be more exciting. I finally decided that I wanted to read books in English. This decision guided me for many years.

    Extractions: Professor of music David Huron from the University of Ohio believes that music may be an evolutional device, similar to straight walking and speech, and which allowed human beings to passed through the whole period of evolution (according to Darwin). He and his adherents stand up for the viewpoint based on music"s biological roots and state that music had appeared along with Homo sapiens long before people spread around the entire Earth, and it happened about 40 thousand years ago. According to the professor, this theory has been proved by archeological excavations.

Contact Us Federated searching is a system that provides a common user interface for searching and retrieving information across heterogeneous datasets over the Internet. Preamble In 1998 the CEIC was asked to explore the feasibility of an electronic World Directory of Mathematicians to replace the traditional hard copy. The CEIC concluded that intellectual property and privacy issues in different countries made this, while desirable, impossible for the 2002 edition of the WDM. With the emergence of better Internet search tools, we now believe it is realistic to build a federated directory, as defined above. What this provides is a rapid and simple search over existing online databases with no additional work for the user. Current Directory Potential Groups American Mathematical Society Membership page Language: English One can search for a member by filling out any of the following fields: last name, first name, position, state (U.S.), country, member organization, institution, institution city, institution state/province and institution country. Member organization is selected by using check box. Position, state, country, institution state/province and institution country fields use the drop-down menu. Institution state/province lists US states as well as Canadian provinces. When the result is returned, it lists the address of the institution where the member works in addition to name. As well, it lists home and office phone numbers, fax number, email address, homepage url, organizations the member belongs to, and the member's specialties.

59. Mathematicians Who Forget The Mistakes Of History (A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation)
    Davis tells the incredible story of this hardscrabble english schoolmaster who transformed samefooting as algebra and calculus by applying mathematical symbols  
    http://www.alicebot.org/articles/wallace/mathematicians.html
    
    Extractions: Norton, 2001 (Paperback, 257 pages) Martin Davis, one of the greatest living mathematicians and computer scientists, and one of the few academics supportive of my disability claim against NYU, has written a remarkable book. Taking a page from Turing's biographer, Andrew Hodges, another professional mathematician, Davis plunges into the most nonmathematical of subjects: history. When I last saw Martin Davis at NYU in 1995, he told me was working on a book about the history of logic. Around the same time, I attended a talk Davis gave at the New York Academy of Sciences. The subject was "Leibniz's Dream", also the title of this book's first chapter. Engines of Logic , originally published in hardcover under the title The Universal Machine , is the culmination of those efforts. Only one degree of separation takes us from Martin Davis to the generation of Einstein, Gödel, Turing, Mauchly, Eckert, Atanasoff, von Neumann, Church, Post and Ulam, many of whom the author met or knew personally. Martin Davis is both living history as well as writing it. He is the link between that generation and those of us working today on logic, artificial intelligence and "thinking machines." If you want to know why predicates are called "predicates" in AIML, and not "properties" or "variables", read this book. The story begins with Leibniz, who, along with Newton, invented the calculus. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz also had a dream, as Davis puts it, "He dreamt of an encyclopedic compilation, of a universal artificial mathematical language in which each facet of knowledge could be expressed, of calculational rules which would reveal all the logical interrelationships among these propositions. Finally, he dreamed of machines capable of carrying out calculations, freeing the mind for creative thought". This was around 1680 in Germany.

    Extractions: Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change , and space ; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation ; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics . Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships. The specific structures that are investigated by mathematicians often have their origin in the natural sciences , most commonly in physics , but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations. Finally, many mathematicians study the areas they do for purely aesthetic reasons, viewing mathematics as an art form rather than as a practical or applied science . Some mathematicians like to refer to their subject as "the Queen of Sciences". Mathematics is often abbreviated to math (in American English ) or maths (in British English Table of contents 1 Overview and history of mathematics
