Notes
1 Full disclosure: I reviewed these books for MAA Reviews [5].
2 They did eventually find a compromise [6].
3 His executive summary: “High school math ought to be taught so students believe it is useful and relevant to their lives.” (xv)
4 “Let me summarize my feelings about publishing in a simple assertion: SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND COPYRIGHT ARE INCOMPATIBLE.” (192)
5 On a lighter note, there is also Ben Orlin’s wonderful and hilarious collection of essays at Math With Bad Drawings [14], as well as very active online communities on various social media platforms, including a number of our colleagues debating whether hot dogs are sandwiches and then turning these debates into thoughtful pedagogical activities.
