V.I. Arnold: On Teaching Mathematics

"On teaching mathematics" by V.I. Arnold is an extension of a talk given in Paris in 1997 -- an inspiring, amusing, provoking and fascinating little gem that some may not know, yet. Due to the courtesy of Russian Mathematical Surveys we can reprint it here with some added links and a brief introduction, pointing to related material.

Biomathematics at the Federal University of Sao Paulo

Fernando Antoneli is Professor in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genomics and Biocomplexity at the Federal University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. At this year's Snowbird meeting, he gave a talk in a session on coupled cell networks and he is working on various aspects of synchronization and pattern formation on coupled dynamical systems. We invited him to write about academic life and dynamical systems in Sao Paulo.

On the ballot for DSWeb Magazine

Mason Porter and Elizabeth Cherry agreed to run for Secretary of our AG. The Secretary is also the Editor-in-Chief of DSWeb Magazine. Traditionally, SIAM invites each candidate to write one or two paragraphs to lay out their plans and opinions. These blurbs will appear on the ballot, along with those of the aspiring Chairs, Vice-Chairs, Program Directors and members of the Advisory Board.
We invited Mason and Elizabeth to explain their vision for the Magazine in particular.
