In July 1985, the Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded a grant to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics to develop a course for fourth-year high school mathematics. This course, called Introduction to College Mathematics, responds to the challenges posed by reports from the College Board, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Sloan Foundation, and the National Science Foundation to begin preparing students for their lives in the twenty-first century.

As the role of distance learning within the educational setting expands, it is imperative that potential producers and receivers of these courses examine the prospects and problems of a distance learning initiative prior to embarking on this new educational journey. The authors provide guidance from their own distance learning experiences at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. The article focuses on the importance of instructor and facilitator training, student selection, physical arrangements for the studio/classroom, and an evaluation plan.

Editors note: Contemporary statistics courses at both the secondary and collegiate levels expect students to interact with data and to discover and confirm ideas with simulations. Traditionally this objective has been accomplished with computer programs. However, students can perform many of these simulations on the home screen of a graphing calculator. Such an intimate interaction with the process of simulation may help develop a better understanding of the underlying concepts. Gloria Barrett, a teacher at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics and author of Statistics with the TI-83 (Meridian 1997), has convinced many of us of the power of this approach.

Mathematics And Science

This article provides a brief history of the people and events that came together in the formation of three of the first public residential schools for gifted students: the North Carolina School for Science and Mathematics, the Louisiana School for Mathematics, Science and Technology, and the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. These schools were formed through a series of risks and opportunities by people who cared about the future of their state's most able students. Mace offers a first-hand review of how these fine schools came to be.

This chapter recounts Julius Chambers's achievements during college, graduate school, and law school. After graduating summa cum laude from North Carolina College for Negroes and obtaining his masters degree in history at the University of Michigan, Chambers was admitted to the University of North Carolina School of Law, desegregated the prior decade by federal court order over the forceful objections of University and North Carolina officials. Chambers, despite being ranked 112th among the 114 students admitted to the Class of 1962 and notwithstanding a generally unwelcoming, often hostile atmosphere at the Law School and on campus, became editor-in-chief of the Law Review and graduated first in his class. This chapter also details Chambers's marriage to Vivian Giles and the couple's decision to move to New York City when, after no North Carolina law firm would grant Chambers a job interview, Columbia Law School quickly stepped forward with the offer of a one-year fellowship.

In order to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss common problems with science teachers The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics held a one and one-half day meeting in New York at the time of the Christmas meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The suggestion for a joint session with the National Science Teaching Societies came originally from the Cooperative Committee on Science and Mathematics Teaching, a committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Cooperative Committee includes representatives of sixteen professional organizations and the United States Office of Education. E. H. C. Hildebrandt was the first representative of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics on the Committee and the author is the present representative. Raleigh Schorling is the Committee representative of the Mathematical Association of America.

Teaching Ideas

I am always looking for lessons with multiple purposes: problems that can be approached from a variety of perspectives, hands-on experiences for the students, and attention-grabbers that lead to good discussion. When I saw the idea of having students use the graphing calculator to teach a parent mathematics, in the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Newsletter (Doyle 1995), I knew that I had found a winner. The article referred to an idea shared by Kent Reigner of Conestoga Valley High School. I did not use the problem suggested in the newsletter, but I updated and extended Jennifer Mayer's variation of a traditional problem and was extremely pleased with the results.

Late Twentieth Century

From the southern influence on nineteenth-century New York to the musical legacy of late-twentieth-century Athens, Georgia, to the cutting-edge cuisines of twenty-first-century Asheville, North Carolina, the bohemian South has long contested traditional views of the region. Yet, even as the fruits of this creative South have famously been celebrated, exported, and expropriated, the region long was labeled a cultural backwater. This timely and illuminating collection uses bohemia as a novel lens for reconsidering more traditional views of the South. Exploring wide-ranging locales, such as Athens, Austin, Black Mountain College, Knoxville, Memphis, New Orleans, and North Carolina’s Research Triangle, each essay challenges popular interpretations of the South, while highlighting important bohemian sub- and countercultures. The Bohemian South provides an important perspective in the New South as an epicenter for progress, innovation, and experimentation.
