How do we ensure equitable representation? How do we fairly divide finite resources (and share responsibilities and burdens)? How do we ensure that the results of our elections reflect the popular will? Social scientists and mathematicians have turned some powerful mathematical tools onto the investigation of such questions in recent years. We will study some of that work with the dual goals of gaining appreciation for the power and elegance of the mathematical approach to problem-solving and understanding at a deeper level how to construct a just society. 6; S/CR/NC; Mathematics and Natural Sciences; offered

Ten Ways To Use Puzzles In Math Education Unlike advanced mathematical topics, most puzzles require no special background Should include a directory of major unsolved problems in mathematics for http://www.scottkim.com/education/tenways.html
Extractions: Chances are that you already use puzzles in your classroom. After all, a puzzle is nothing but a problem that is fun to solve. Primary level teachers commonly use puzzle manipulatives like tangrams to teach concepts like sahpe, fractions and area. Secondary and high school teachers often use puzzles to introduce concepts and spice up homework. College entrance exams and math competitions are mostly collections of puzzles. As a professional puzzle designer and math educator, I would like to see puzzles used more widely at all levels of math education. Here are ten ways you can use puzzles in your math classrooms, with links to web resources. Most of the products mentioned work with upper elementary through high school students.

UIUC Guide To Graduate Student In Number Theory Outstanding unsolved problems include the Riemann hypothesis on the location elementary number theory from an advanced viewpoint, Gauss and Jacobi sums, http://www.math.uiuc.edu/ResearchAreas/numbertheory/guide.html
Extractions: Faculty Visitors Students Courses ... Social Events The object of number theory is to study intrinsic properties of integers, and, more generally of numbers. Here we shall discuss some of the main areas of number theory and some of the important problems in each area. Included in elementary number theory are divisibility and prime factorization, residue classes, congruences, the quadratic reciprocity law, representation of numbers by forms, diophantine equations, continued fraction approximations and sieves. Because of its charm and general accessibility, this is one of the best known areas of number theory. The description "elementary" refers more to the nature of the methods employed than to the level of difficulty of the subject. In analytic number theory an arithmetical phenomenon is represented by a related function, generally an analytic function of a complex variable. Information about the arithmetical problem, generally of an asymptotic nature, is then extracted by analysis of the associated function. It is remarkable that study of continuous quantities yields information in discrete problems. The first famous result in this area is Dirichlet's theorem that any arithmetic progression, a, a + q, a + 2q, ... contains an infinite number of primes provided only that a and q are relatively prime. Corresponding results for non-linear polynomial sequences (n^2 + 1, for example) are almost certainly true but remain unproved. Sieves are combinatorial devices for counting, in a given integer sequence, elements having very few prime factors. In combination with analytic means, these devices have had considerable success in recent years in a variety of contexts ranging from measuring gaps between consecutive primes to Fermat's Last Theorem. Outstanding unsolved problems include the Riemann hypothesis on the location of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the conjecture that there exist an infinite number of "twin primes" p and p + 2.

Mathematics For Undergraduates in research toward solving unsolved problems and creating original mathematics . First, they have the opportunity to learn advanced mathematics, http://www.math.wayne.edu/ugrad/
Extractions: at Wayne State University Faculty Small Class Sizes Technology Careers in Math ... Advanced Courses for Non-Majors Whether you plan to go into a career in Art, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, the Sciences , Social Work or Teaching, mathematics will play a role in your education, in your career, and in your life. A strong background in mathematics is needed to study any scientific or technical subject, but many other subject areas require a firm grasp of mathematical concepts. In addition, studying mathematics helps you to learn to organize information, develop skill as a problem solver, and to increase your ability to evaluate facts and make informed decisions. One of the best reasons to major in mathematics is that it opens the door to a wide variety of careers. (The other side of this coin is that not studying mathematics may mean that some doors, and therefore some career options, will be closed to you.) Employers in many non-technical fields often favor hiring a person who has a degree in mathematics because they know that the individual has developed higher-level thinking skills that will serve them well in the working environment.

Order in US Order in Europe Order in US Order in Europe The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) announced the Millennium Prize Problems to mark the 100th anniversary of David Hilbert's lecture at the second International Congress of Mathematicians. Hilbert's blueprint for mathematics was more influential in setting the direction for 20th century mathematics than any other single event. The Millennium Prize Problems were set forth by two of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century: John Tate and Michael Atiyah. Sir Michael Atiyah is emeritus at the University of Edinburgh, has been Professor at Oxford, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, and at Cambridge University. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal, is former Master of Trinity College Cambridge, and is past president of the Royal Society. Atiyah's work revolutinized mathematics in the twentieth century by unifying the disciplines of analysis, topology, and geometry.
