Mathematicians and Education Reform, 1989-1990

By: Naomi Fisher,Harvey Keynes,Philip Wagreich

Educational issues are receiving a great deal of attention in the mathematical sciences community, as concern rises over the quality of instruction in the nation's schools, colleges, and universities. Insuring a mathematically literate population and increasing the number of students pursuing careers in mathematics, science and engineering are high on the list of priorities. Mathematicians can make important contributions to the educational reform process. The present volume is the second in the series Issues in Mathematics Education, launched in 1990 by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and published by the AMS and the Mathematical Association of America. The purpose of the series is to stimulate the flow of information among mathematical scientists, education specialists, and teachers, about innovative efforts to revitalize mathematics education. Compiled and edited by the directors of the Mathematicians and Education Reform (MER) Network, this book contains papers by speakers and participants in MER workshops and special sessions over the last three years. Like the first volume, which also grew out of an MER workshop, this book is organized into two sections, Projects and Issues and Reactions, providing a balance between descriptions of successful existing projects and more in-depth discussion of problems and issues in mathematics education reform. With contributions by some of the major leaders in this area today, this book will likely be of interest to a broad segment of the mathematical sciences community.

The Ice Age

By: Jürgen Ehlers,Dr. Philip Hughes,Professor Philip L. Gibbard

This book provides a new look at the climatic history of the last 2.6 million years during the ice age, a time of extreme climatic fluctuations that have not yet ended. This period also coincides with important phases of human development from Neanderthals to modern humans, both of whom existed side by side during the last cold stage of the ice age. The ice age has seen dramatic expansions of glaciers and ice sheets, although this has been interspersed with relatively short warmer intervals like the one we live in today. The book focuses on the changing state of these glaciers and the effects of associated climate changes on a wide variety of environments (including mountains, rivers, deserts, oceans and seas) and also plants and animals. For example, at times the Sahara was green and colonized by humans, and Lake Chad covered 350,000 km2 – larger than the United Kingdom. What happened during the ice age can only be reconstructed from the traces that are left in the ground. The work of the geoscientist is similar to that of a detective who has to reconstruct the sequence of events from circumstantial evidence. The book draws on the specialisms and experience of the authors who are experts on the glacial history of the Earth. Readership: Undergraduate and postgraduate students studying the Quaternary, researchers, and anyone interested in climate change, environmental change and geology. The book provides a rich collection of illustrations and photographs to help the readers at all levels visualise the dramatic consequences of glacier expansions during the Ice Age.

Mathematicians and Education Reform, 1990-1991

By: Harvey Keynes

This is the latest volume in the CBMS (Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences) Issues in Mathematics Education series, which seeks to stimulate the flow of information among mathematical scientists, mathematics educators, and mathematics teachers about innovative efforts to revitalize the teaching of the mathematical sciences at all levels. The first part of this volume is devoted to detailed descriptions of a wide variety of educational projects undertaken by mathematicians. These descriptions focus for the most part on substantial enterprises with an investment of several years and systematic review and evaluation. By contrast, the second part of the book centres on ideas that could be put into action at a modest level as a springboard for longer term projects. This book is intended to stimulate and inspire mathematical scientists to pursue educational work. In addition, those who have already ventured into educational activities and may be ready for deeper involvement will also benefit from this exploration of what can be done. This series is published in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America.
