    Extractions: These quotes are some of the responses made on the Survey of Doctoral Education and Career Preparation. The quotes are sorted by discipline. You can see the response from other disciplines . These quotes supplement an article of advice for selecting a doctoral program . Students responded to the question: "Knowing everything that you know now, what advice would you give others entering or in the early years of graduate school? " The quotes are sorted into six categories. Generally, there are a half dozen comments per category, the alternating colors are different student's comments. These categories were applied by us, as we read through the thousands of comments. They are the most common categories of advice pertaining to the selection of a doctoral program. The frequency with which various kinds of advice emerged varies by discipline. You can see the relative distribution here.

    http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~wbriggs/2000s02/advice.html
    
    Extractions: Advice From Former Math 2000 Students The best way to get a good grade in this class is to keep up on the homework assignments. They are not hard if you just use the formulas. The lectures are not at all boring. You can actually learn some useful things. Also, the group work can really help your social life. This class is unlike any other math class you have ever taken. You’re expected to learn and be able to apply the information presented to you, but it’s done in a very low pressure comfortable way. Math is not your enemy and BB is a great ally against such a myth. Good luck. As someone who looked at math as some life-threatening disease that I would never want to catch, I was terrified to walk into class the first day. However, I can say that my knowledge of math has increased because of this class. The professor is always approachable and (as advice) go see him! Also, if you have a question ask! You will learn in this class. Just remember, the unit on permutations will end! Good luck! I can’t give you any advice about what it takes to become engaged and want to learn other than be sure to actually go to class and you should do fine. Different people learn different ways, so I can’t really tell you how to succeed. Just come in with an open mind and try to pay attention.

89. Advice
    Early Career Development, American mathematical Society, Providence, Rhode Island, 2003. You might also like my advice on how to learn math and physics.  
    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/advice.html
    
    Extractions: I have reached the stage where young mathematicians and physicists sometimes ask me for advice - mainly people who want to work on quantum gravity. Here is my advice. Most of it applies to grad students and postdocs in any branch of science who seek an academic career involving research. The stuff on giving good talks will be helpful to almost all scientists, since most give pretty bad talks. The great challenge at the beginning of ones career in academia is to get tenure at a decent university. Personally I got tenure before I started messing with quantum gravity, and this approach has some real advantages. Before you have tenure, you have to please people. After you have tenure, you can do whatever the hell you want - so long as it's legal, and so long as your department doesn't put a lot of pressure on you to get grants. (This is one reason I'm happier in a math department than I would be in a physics department. Mathematicians have more trouble getting grants, so there's a bit less pressure to get them.) The great thing about tenure is that it means your research can be driven by your actual interests instead of the ever-changing winds of fashion. The problem is, by the time many people get tenure, they've become such slaves of fashion that they no longer know what it

Contact information for NYC and NYS Education officials; NYC and NYS Elected Officials and the Press. The performance of American students in mathematics is mediocre at best. In many cases, mathematics instruction is not serving our children's best interests. In order to help all students achieve success in school mathematics courses, have access to adequate preparation for the broadest options in high school math and science courses, and the opportunity to advance into mathematics based college courses and careers, it is important to examine the direction of recent attempts at mathematics education reform. NYC HOLD (Honest Open Logical Decisions on Mathematics Education Reform) was formed in order to address mathematics education in the New York City schools. We are a nonpartisan advocacy organization that provides parents, educators, mathematicians and other concerned citizens information, resources and networking opportunities to support systemic improvements in the quality of mathematics education in the New York City schools.

94. Advice Against Adopting "Everyday Mathematics" In The DC Public Schools
    Re the June 2005 District of Columbia math Curriculum Adoption I majored in mathematics and am greatly concerned with how math is taught.  
    http://www.nychold.com/let-garelick-050615.html
    
    Extractions: Dear Dr. Clifford and Ms Cafritz: My name is Barry Garelick. I am employed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I am writing as a private citizen and not as an employee of US EPA. I am writing on behalf of parents who are concerned that their children receive an effective math education. In my spare time I tutor students in mathematics. I majored in mathematics and am greatly concerned with how math is taught. I recently wrote an article on mathematics education which appeared in the Spring 2005 edition of Education Next. The article focuses on some of the serious problems in math education in K-12 in the U.S. In my opinion as well as those of many mathematicians I consulted when writing the article, some of the educational theories informing how math is currently taught are seriously flawed. I have attached a copy of the article for your information. Two years ago I had the opportunity to tutor students at the Macfarland Middle School in DC in mathematics. I enjoyed working with these students. I was also impressed with the math program that Macfarland had at that time. What impressed me was the students' knowledge of the standard algorithms needed in math: long division, multiplying and dividing fractions, dividing decimals. They knew the rules.
