August 13 Graphic: Ji Sun An There's Pi Day and Mole Day, so it seems only right that the Golden Mean should have its own day. The Golden Mean, or Golden Ratio, is 1.6180339 rounded off to eight digits, or approximately 1.618. That makes August 13the day that is 61.8 percent of way through the yeara fitting day to proclaim Golden Mean Day. (Of course, if you prefer to celebrate during the traditional school year, you could have students figure out what 61.8 percent of your school year would be, or 61.8 percent of a specific month.) The Golden Mean represents an aesthetically pleasing proportion of height to width: 1 to 1.618 . . . . Like pi, it's an irrational number. It's often represented by the Greek letter Phi.

Extractions: Web: http://www.worldofescher.com M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist, most recognized for spatial illusions, impossible buildings, repeating geometric patterns (tessellations), and him incredible techniques in woodcutting and lithography. M.C. Escher was born June 1898 and died March 1972. His work continues to fascinate both young and old across a broad spectrum of interests. M.C. Escher was a man studied and greatly appreciated by respected mathematicians, scientists and crystallographers yet he had no formal training in math or science. He was a humble man who considered himself neither an artist or mathematician. Intricate repeating patterns, mathematically complex structures, spatial perspectives all require a second look. In Eschers work what you see the first time is most certainly not all there is to see. We at the World of Escher are proud to be here to tell you stories, discuss M.C. Eschers works, provide insight, and offer our high quality products promoting the intriguing work of Escher. If you already know of Escher and his work you'll have a great time just looking around, otherwise its time to get ready to explore a world as fascinating as the Internet; The World of Escher! Along with discussions on Escher we have also included ideas and readings regarding Professor Roger Penrose and his mathematically based puzzles.

CANCELED Workshop #4: Mathematics in Kinematic Models Presenters: Daina Taimina Usually when we talk about using technology in teaching we think of 20th century developments like calculators and computers. In the 19th century, technology meant kinematic models. These mechanisms, designed based on mathematical ideas, were used in teaching and in numerous practical machines. (Ever think about drilling a square hole?) Now largely forgotten, Reuleaux mechanisms were widely used, especially in Germany, up until the Second World War. Most of the mechanisms in Europe were lost in the destruction of 1941-45. While some models survive in Germany and Japan, the Cornell Reuleaux Collection seems to be the largest remaining collection of these model-mechanisms. The first president of Cornell, A. D. White, acquired our models in 1882.

Extractions: Academic Setting Truman Middle school is located at 9400 Benavidez Road in the southwest part of Albuquerque. It is predominantly Hispanic, at 80% of the student population. Approximately 4% are Native American, 4% African American, 10.6% Anglo, 0.5% Asian and 0.4% are of "other" backgrounds. The average for all middle schools in Albuquerque is 48.4% Hispanic and 41.6% Anglo. Many of our parents are working in low paying jobs and as a result, about ¾ of our student population receives free or reduced lunches provided by APS Food Services. Eligibility for free or reduced meals is based on family size and income. For example, a family of four with income less than $21,300 qualifies a student for free meals, and income between $21,300 and $30,400 qualifies the same size family for reduced meals. The percentage of these students is considered an indicator of socio-economic status. Test scores at Truman show that most of our students are four-five years below grade level. Even though we bring up the scores on the Terra Nova from 6
