Up Next: An MSP Solicitation

The NSF's Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations.

Remembering Paul Cohen

By Peter Sarnak

 

 

Paul Joseph Cohen, one of the stars of 20th century mathematics, passed away in March, 2007 at the age of 72. Blessed with a unique mathematical gift for solving difficult and central problems, he made fundamental breakthroughs in a number of fields, the most spectacular being his resolution of Hilbert's first problem ‹ the continuum hypothesis.

Leonhard Euler and Robert Schneider, In Conversation

Math Olympiad Documentary to Debut in San Diego

When MAA President Joe Gallian approached filmmaker George Paul Csicsery with a proposal to create a documentary that follows the students on the U.S. International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team through the rigors of the world's toughest math competition, Csicsery became enamored with the possibilities.

MAA on the Road: At the AMATYC Annual Meeting in Minneapolis

By Michael Pearson and Candace Baumann

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) held its 33rd Annual Meeting in Minneapolis on Nov. 1-4, 2007. The meeting had originally been scheduled for New Orleans, but the facility that was to host the meeting was permanently closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. So AMATYC made the decision to move to the other end of the Mississippi River and hold "New Orleans in Minneapolis 2007."
