Popular Math

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

The mathematicians Ron Brown and Tim Porter, at the University of Wales in Bangor, UK, have long been at the forefront of mathematics popularization in Britain. (This is in addition to their very valuable contributions to algebraic topology, category theory and theoretical computer science!) Their web-pages include a page of articles and links about popular mathematics, reasons for studying math, the teaching of math, etc.
