Potsdam State's Math Program Praised
in Speech to National Groups
Potsdam State University College's math program, lauded in the past, is in the national spotlight again for its effectiveness. In a recent speech to a joint meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the American Mathematical Society, former MAA President Leonard Gillman singled out Potsdam College's program, along with a few others across the country, as one that helps students succeed in mathematics. Mr. Gillman's comments on the programs are included in the latest issue of "Focus," the MAA's newsletter. His remarks, delivered at the January meeting in Kentucky as his retirement address, were reprinted in an article titled "Teaching Programs That Work." ... ... Mr. Gillman praised the unique individualized approach used by Potsdam math professors, such as speaking directly to students and stressing strengths. "The predominant spirit is the culture of success: continual encouragement, recognition of every accomplishment, successful role models honors students, BA-MA students, graduates enough success to develop self-esteem, enough time to develop intellectually, recognition of one's achievement and the belief that the study is worthwhile," he said.

http://xocxoc.home.att.net/math/quotes.htm
Quotes On Mathematics A mathematical truth is neither simple nor complicated in itself, it is. - Emile Lemoine The science of Pure Mathematics, in its modern developments, may claim to be the most original creation of the human spirit - A. N. Whitehead A mathematician who is not also a poet will never be a complete mathematician. - Karl Weierstrass I have heard myself accused of being an opponent, an enemy of mathematics, which no one can value more highly than I, for it accomplishes the very thing whose achievement has been denied me. - Goethe Mathematicians are like lovers... Grant a mathematician the least principle, and he will draw from it a consequence which you must also grant him, and from this consequence another. - Fontenelle It is easier to square a circle than to get round a mathematician. - Augustus De Morgan I regret that it has been necessary for me in this lecture to administer such a large dose of four-dimensional geometry. I do not apologize, because I am really not responsible for the fact that nature in its most fundamental aspect is four-dimensional. Things are what they are. - A. N. Whitehead Numbers rule the Universe. - Pythagoras

A
return to top of page Adams, Douglas (1952 - )
Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants.
Life, the Universe and Everything. New York: Harmony Books, 1982. Adams, Douglas (1952 - )
The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up.
The second nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive. Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of math, including statistics and accountancy and also form the basic equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field.

72. Mathematical Remarks
Each progress in mathematics is based on the discovery of stronger tools and easiermethods, which at the time makes it easier to understand earlier methods.
http://www.math.hmc.edu/~jacobsen/quotes.html
  • Each progress in mathematics is based on the discovery of stronger tools and easier methods, which at the time makes it easier to understand earlier methods. By making these stronger tools and easier methods his own, it is possible for the individual researcher to orientate himself in the different branches of mathematics.
    The organic unity of mathematics is inherent in the nature of this science, for mathematics is the foundation of all exact knowledge of natural phenomena.
    David Hilbert (1900 Paris Lecture)

    Technical skill is mastery of complexity while creativity is mastery of simplicity.
    E. C. Zeeman
  • (note that this quote applies equally well to music and mathematics).
  • Although it may be fashionable to acknowledge that everything is connected to everything else in principle, some things are more tightly connected to each other than to all the rest. Such a little knot of causal interactions goes by the name of a system.
    Art Winfree

    Mathematics is not a deductive science - that's a cliché. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation and guesswork.
    Paul Halmos

    Cauchy
    is mad and there is nothing that can be done about him, although, right now, he is the only one who knows how mathematics should be done.

Money Math: Lessons for Life Quotes from Teachers and Educators "Everyone wins with Money Math! It is an excellent resource for middle school math teachers plus students learn necessary math and life skills. It is an interesting way to make personal financial literacy come alive and make math 'real'. I wish I had learned about money with Money Math when I was in school."
Dr. Janet E. Hawkes, Cornell University Educational Resources Program "We are working very hard in our district to align the curriculum and to enrich it with real-life problem solving that is relevant to student's lives and needs. This looks like it will fit in very well."
Nola Gunderson, Menan, Idaho, Math Department Chair "I have tried the first lessonThe Secret to Becoming a Millionairewith my 7th and 8th grade students and they absolutely loved it. I did too."
Kim Roussel Rome, Geismar, Lousiana, Middle School Teacher "Teaching personal finance is like teaching students how to use computers. In both cases, students learn by doing and in both cases, the subject has immediate relevance to their lives if taught effectively."

John A. Logan College Mathematics Award 1999 "I learned a lot from the professors in John A. Logan's Math Department. Their professors are great teachers, and they are accessible with flexible office hours. They not only helped me with questions about the math courses, but provided me with valuable guidance on good courses to take to meet my goal to be a high school math teacher. Thanks to their inspiration I'm one semester away from completing my goal to be a certified teacher of mathematics in Illinois! " Jennifer Jeter
Senior in Mathematics Education
Southern Illinois University, Carbondale
John A. Logan College Mathematcis Award 2000 "The Mathematics department at John A. Logan College is outstanding. The instructors are always willing to go the extra mile to help students understand the material. The department did an excellent job of preparing me for the transition to a four-year university. I would highly recommend that anyone who is pursuing a degree related to mathematics consider attending John A. Logan College."
