http://

Recent comments by Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers,
regarding women and mathematics have spurred numerous articles and
responses. The first article from Yahoo News (1) gives an overview of
the event, his comments, and some reactions. The comment most at issue
is whether or not innate sex differences might leave women less
capable of succeeding at the most advanced mathematics. The second
website (2) offers Summers’ apology and clarifies his comments. The
third article (3), although from 2001, reviews some previous research
on gender differences in mathematics and discusses findings from a
study that, based on longitudinal data, found that “gender
differences are slight, late developing, and subject-specific.” This
response from the Society of Women Engineers (4) offers some further
insight on why there are fewer women than men in mathematics and
science careers. This next website from Engineers Week (5) invites
others to join the discussion forum on this issue. This website (7)
posts the Nelson Diversity Survey, which gives 2005 statistics for
diversity in science and engineering facilities at research
universities, while the next website looks to the future (6) and
offers some short abstracts describing some prospective Career Options
for Women in Mathematics.

(AP)
07/03/2004 04:36 PMAP - Many educators and employers liken the state of science education
to a chemistry project gone awry: A bad mix of factors has come
together and it spells trouble. By law, making students better at
reading and math is the nation's priority. When it comes to science,
however, a quiet crisis is engulfing schools, say scientists,
educators, business leaders and entrepreneurs.

The URL Clearinghouse
01/07/2004 03:01 PMThe URL Clearinghousehttp://library.albany.
edu/clearinghouse/ The URL Clearinghouse is a set of
instructions for creating URLs to vendor-mediated databases and
e-journals licensed by libraries and other information providers.
These are the URLs that librarians maintain in OPACs, Web sites,
databases, course pages, guides, etc. The Clearinghouse focuses on
URLs that point to databases and e-journals at the title level. Where
discovered on a vendor's site, the option to create deep links at the
article level and other deep levels is noted but no instructions are
included. The Clearinghouse focuses on vendors that offer multiple
titles, e.g., OCLC with its FirstSearch databases, Ingenta with its
Ingenta Select e-journals. Few e-books or other electronic texts are
included at this time, although some of the vendors featured in the
Clearinghouse offer such items. [Laura B. Cohen - Network Services

contacted for descriptions of effective practices in the academic
library profession. The goal of the Effective Practices Clearinghouse
is to recognize effective practices in academic libraries in areas
such as programs, services, facilities, technology, and initiatives
and share them so they are accessible to academic librarians and the
entire education community. If your library has an effective practice
to share, ACRL encourages you to complete and submit an Effective
Practices Form. Your practice will be peer reviewed and considered
for this site. The Effective Practices Clearinghouse is a work in
progress.

The Mathematics of Futurama

Python in Mathematics
04/21/2004 09:13 PMPython in
the Mathematics Curriculum by Kirby Urner is something of a
sprawling masterpiece. It really comes in four parts: the first is a
history of computer science in education, the second an appraisal of
the impact of open source on education and the world at last, the
third a dive in to the things that make Python so suitable for
enhancing the mathematics curriculum and the fourth a discussion of
how computer science and traditional mathematics are likely to play
off against each other in the field of high school education.
It's a long read, but well worth it. Kirby drops in numerous short
Python code samples, such as this neat little implementation of
Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common denominator of two
numbers:
def gcd(a,b):
while b:
a,b = b, a % b
return a
His thoughs on open source and general geek culture are worth
digging out even if the main topic of the paper has no interest for
you. Here's a sample:
Additionally, I think a key cultural phenomenon is the evolving
perception of geek culture as a whole. What many students discover is
a global network of loosely organized, yet talented individuals,
including many free spirits. The network is cosmopolitan and guided by
some newly articulated principles regarding how some forms of
intellectual assets should remain freely accessible and reusable.
While these values might seem another ideological pipe dream, were
they expressed in merely political terms, in this case the lingua
franca of the movement is source code, and licensing agreements
designed to protect it against leaking off into the proprietary
sector. Even though Python may be used in proprietary ways, Python
itself remains free.
Kirby presented the talk at Python DC '04 back in March. I wish I'd
been there, but the conference was too close to SxSW for me to make it
to both.
Mathematics of M&M packing
Mathematics of M&M packing
02/16/2004 02:35 PMAccording to a paper in the new issue of Science, researchers were
surprised to discover that M&Ms randomly dumped into a bowl pack
together much more densely than spheres. Why? Assymetric ellipsoids
like M&Ms can touch eleven neighbors when dumped together while
spheres only saddle up to six. Understanding how particles pack
together can help scientists develop new and denser materials, like
ceramics for heat shields.
