The Silk Road
No name evokes the mystery of the ancient Silk Road more than Samarkand, a city rich with history and an unmistakable magic. Samarkand was already a great walled city when it was conquered in 329 BC by Alexander the Great. The Registan pictured here is a majestic commercial center flanked by blue-tiled madrasses or free schools and mosques. In the madrasses famous Islamic scholars, mathematicians, and astronomers lectured. The central mosque has graceful minarets where muezzin (religious leaders) called the religious to prayer. The marketplace drew merchants from Europe and other parts of Asia. They came on foot, by horse, by camel caravan, or accompanying troops of soldiers. In the bazaars they would meet, share stories of their desert travails, eat, enjoy music, and trade.

Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor PALO ALTO, CALIF. Ever since William Hewlett and David Packard launched Silicon Valley out of a Palo Alto garage in 1939, math has counted for a lot in this town. Knowing your way around an algorithm is the sure way into the hottest high-tech market. That's why parents - many of whom were top math professionals at Stanford University or local software companies - took note when plans surfaced to revamp math in the middle schools. They didn't like this new approach, especially after test scores plummeted. They also didn't like being told that they'd have no say in how math was taught.

Asian American Immigration CHINESE MIGRATION Beginning in the 1980s, we have been one of the fastest growing immigrant groups here in the United States. A 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act began to eliminate some of the anti-Asian racism. The act reunified families, protected the domestic labor force, and called for immigration of people with needed skills. It also made us eligible for citizenship, which we had long been waiting for. The 1965 Immigration Act abolished the national-origins quota system and created an annual quota of 20,000 of us Asians. Therefore, the amount of immigrants increased drastically as time progressed. STEREOTYPES Almost ninety percent of Chinese immigrants were women between 1946 and 1952. About 348,000 of us came here from Hong Kong and Taiwan between 1941 and 1980. Beginning in 1981, the number of immigrants increased coming from the mainland as opposed to coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan. We reached a population of 1.6 million people between 1980 and 1990. By the mid-1990s we were approximately one-third of all Asian Americans. As Chinese Americans, we are often mistaken for Vietnamese or Korean Americans. In 1994, Asian Americans were thought of as foreigners who consistently competed for jobs. We have been stereotyped as "model minorities" because we are ambitious and hard working.

CHARACTERISTICS The element of pattern dominates art and architecture in the Islamic world.
It often includes sacred writings and appears on public buildings such as Mosques ( places of worship), colleges and palaces. The perfect form of letters in arabic writing is highly prized. (The Quran is written in arabic). Unlike our writing it is the perfect shape of the letters and words that mean and say as much about the purity of the religion Photograph of a Mosque There are two types of Arabic Script used : - NESKHI - which is a later and more flowing
style. The patterns used in Islamic Art are often very complicated. The Arabs were fine mathematicians and their technology was quite advanced. Their interest in maths and its structures can be seen clearly in their designs which are
interwoven, geometric and tessellated.

Asian Philosophy and Critical Thinking: Divergence or Convergence?
Soraj Hongladarom
Department of Philosophy
Chulalongkorn University
Introduction
It is widely recognized nowadays that critical thinking has become a necessary ingredient in all levels of education. Educators and educational policy makers agree that one of the desirable goals of education is that students are able to think critically. In Thailand, many have felt the need to inculcate critical thinking more seriously in educational curricula. Thais have gone so far as to include a clause in the newly promulgated Constitution that a bill on education be passed by Parliament. At the moment the act is being considered by various factors and agencies. The core of the proposed act is the idea that the students be able to think critically and independently. Although there are widespread disagreements on what critical thinking actually is, there is an agreement that it has become very important in the world deluged by huge amount of information (Hongladarom 1998b). Is critical thinking really culture specific? Can the traditional belief systems of Asia respond to the challenge of the modern world while still retaining their distinctive identities? Are Asian philosophy and critical thinking necessary divergent or possibly convergent? These are very significant question not just for Asian cultures, but for understanding how cultures of the world respond to globalization. In addition the question also has a bearing on the problematic relation between critical thinking and the cultural milieux in which it happens to be embedded.

November 1996

Nonimmigrants/US Business/Inequality
Labor Certification. US mathematicians holding doctorates, whose unemployment rate jumped to almost 11 percent in 1995, are protesting the provision of the 1990 IMMACT that increased the number of foreigners allowed to immigrate to the US to fill vacant US jobs from 54,000 per year to 140,000 per year. According to the protesting US mathematicians, US employers have taken advantage of the increased number of immigration visas available. According to one group, 40 percent of the 720 jobs available to PhD mathematicians in 1995 went to immigrants. In 1994, some 561 professors and researchers received US immigrant visas because they were considered outstanding in their fields, down from 615 in 1993. The US mathematicians argue that because of easy immigration, universities and other US employers can select from 50 or 100 equally-qualified candidates for each opening. There is disagreement over whether intense competition for professor jobs is helpful or harmful. According to economist Jagdish Bhagwati, the fact that Russian and Chinese immigrants are included in the competition for professorships is good, since it raises the standard in mathematics departments from research universities to community colleges. This process highlights the re-distributive aspects of immigrationeven if all US residents gain, there can be significant and concentrated costs. The May 1996 DOL Inspector Generals' report that concluded that many US employer requests for temporary and permanent foreign workers merely legalize the status of a foreigner already employed continued to echo in news reports. For example, Philadelphia Inquirer reporters Donald Barlett and James Steele on October 20, 1996 detailed the jobs that US employers asked to fill with temporary and permanent immigrants in 1995a $5.25 per hour hair stylist in Washington DC, a $15 per hour biologist for the Red Cross and a $53,000 per year systems analyst at Perot Systems.

    Words: Dr Jules Eden What is the similarity between equestrianism, croquet and diving? It is a hard one, I know. Okay, let me tell you: These are the only sports where the two sexes perform (and in some instances compete) on an equal level. I know diving is not a competitive sport on paper, but in reality we all know the passion for what we do can spill out into something akin to a hard hitting contact sport. While croquet is a battle of getting balls through hoops, in equestrianism the horse seems to do all the work. However, in diving the battle of the sexes is very different. I hate to say it, but when it comes to diving medicine and the female gender, sometimes things are loaded against the ladies. So let us focus on what a diving doctor has to think about when confronted with the medical issues of the female diver. Diving and Pregnancy

    REAL WORLD
    Federal Labs' Commercialization Success and Failure
    A nationwide study of the commercialization of technology from federal laboratories to industry has uncovered the factors that explain why some laboratories are more successful in this effort than others. The laboratories studied belong to the areas of health, energy, space, defense, transportation, agriculture and environment. The network of more than 700 national laboratories employs about 200,000 scientists and engineers, and close to 1 million people, with an annual budget of $23 billion. The study was supported by the National Science Foundation and involved 43 federal laboratories, 51 industrial companies, and 428 scientists and engineers in these laboratories. In addition, the study also surveyed the technology transfer officers in the sample of federal laboratories. The main findings from this study show that the successful laboratories are those in which senior management actively support cooperation with industry, with strong positive attitudes and actual incentives, and in which the scientific personnel exhibit entrepreneurial attributes and have positive attitudes towards commercialization. Also, successful laboratories are those in which the cooperating company supports commercialization and where the company's technical people perceive their counterparts in the federal laboratories as willing to take risks and able to deal with ambiguity. The study also established that the incentives most likely to work in the effort to improve commercialization in the federal laboratory are those that create a supportive environment for entrepreneurs in the laboratories (as opposed to just offering financial incentives). Further, the study has found that technical capabilities of the laboratories and their attractiveness to industry are poor predictors of successful commercialization. Rather, it is not so much what the laboratory has to offer, but how the cooperation is carried out and managed that better explains the success of commercialization.

    (c) Arthur Hu 1984-2020, please cite when using data from here on how to get more complete data or complete text of these references Some people collect stuff, this is my 15 plus years collection of racial statistics, organized around statistics for Asian Americans. Most racial statistics are given for blacks, maybe hispanics, but very few for Asians. Asians are unusual in that they have both the characteristics of disadvantaged minorities, like the African Americans, and over-achieving minorities such as the Jews and Episcopalians. What is remarkable is that, contrary to the popular thesis that Whites are always on top, and persons of color are always on the bottom because of racism, more often than not, Asians have lower rates of most headline problems. You'll almost never see them documented because of the unwritten rule that Whites must end up best and Blacks, worst. If you wander around, you'll also find evidence of when even the lower income, lower education Hispanics are better (AIDS rates, infant mortality, life expectancy) and even the few places where Blacks are better. I rank them, and figure out a conclusion instead of starting out with the conclusion and ommitting data that doesn't support it. Asians have higher household incomes are healthier , get better grades and test scores , go to the best colleges at the highest rates in the most rewarding and difficult fields commit fewer crimes , and have more solid

    Director-General of Education Ladies and gentlemen 1 It is a great pleasure for me to be present this morning at the opening of the 2nd East Asia Regional Conference on Mathematics Education and the 9th South East Asian Conference on Mathematics Education. 2 I understand that the South East Asian Conference on Mathematics Education has a long history of nearly a quarter of a century, having been hosted in turn by seven ASEAN nations. In fact, the National Institute of Education in Singapore hosted the fourth conference in 1987, and now, after 15 years it has the honour of hosting once again. 5 To ensure that our curriculum and methods are appropriate to equip our students with the skills and knowledge that they need for the future, we conduct regular reviews of the curriculum for all subjects, including mathematics. The way pupils learn mathematics today is quite different from the way we were taught when we were in school. Today, there is greater emphasis on teaching students to think creatively, understand how mathematics is used in the real world and to be able to provide reasons to support their conclusions.

    Grant-giving Bodies of Interest to Mathematicians
    The following list of bodies, prepared by Michael Cowling, is a part of the University Research Office's list of bodies which fund research. I have attempted to eliminate bodies which would not fund mathematical research, and leave in those which would. Of course, it is highly likely that some of the omissions should have been left in, and vice versa . In particular, many medical bodies fund epidemiological research in which statisticians participate. However, it is unlikely that a statistician without medical collaborators and access to medical data would be funded; the medical colleagues necessary for such research would be in a better position than a mathematical statistician or a list compiler to know which of the many medical funding bodies to apply to. The deadline dates with the various grants were correct when this was prepared, but as time goes on, fewer and fewer will remain correct. Be warned that risk of error is quite high, and if you are interested in applying for one (or more) of these, then get current information from the Research Office. Here is a short list of the organisations:
