Problem 1 was adapted from a problem in One Equals Zero and Other Mathematical Surprises, by Nitsa Movshovitz-Hadar and John Webb (Berkeley, Calif.: Key Curriculum Press, 1998). Problem 2 is adapted from a problem from the Mathcounts 1998–99 Handbook. Problems 3–14, 27, and 28 come from the mathschallenge.net Web site. Problem 15 is from the Math Forum's Problem of the Week Archives, available at mathforum.org/pow. Problems 16–25 came from—or were adapted from—problems at the Mathematics Problems and Warm-ups Web site, at www.geom.umn.edu/~lori/mathed /problems. Sources of the problems, as cited on the Web site, are as follows: problems 16, 18–21, and 25 are from Mathematical Games, by Marie Berrondo (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1983); problems 17, 22, and 24 are from Fun with Brain Puzzlers, by L. H. Langley-Cook (Greenwich, Conn.: Fawcett, 1965); and problem 23 is from the Minnesota Math League. Problem 29 comes from the “Nets of Cubes” problem set from Problems with a Point, a National Science Foundation–supported project at Education Development Center, available at www2.edc.org/mathproblems.

The Undergraduate Mathematics Applications Project (UMAP) is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation to Education Development Center, Inc. The Project is responsible for the development of mathematics applications materials (modules and monographs) for undergraduate students. The materials are written, reviewed, and field-tested by individuals throughout the country, and are edited and produced by the UMAP staff, in conjunction with its Subject Matter Panels and Monograph Editorial Board. The Project, in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, produces The UMAP Journal—a journal devoted to undergraduate mathematics and its applications and published by Birkhäuser Boston, Inc. UMAP's ultimate goal is to organize the developers and users of UMAP materials into an independent, multidisciplinary Consortium to continue the activities of the Project after the initial funding period.

This final column for the 2002–2003 SCHOOL year completes the “Mapping Diagrams” tip from April 2003. I hope that this treatment, as well as the Web pages mentioned, spurs some fresh interest in this fascinating parallel-axes alternative for graphing functions. Readers should note that the programs Maplite and Mapper are available from Henri Picciotto's Web site at http//:www.picciotto.org/math-ed/func-diag/software. Picciotto's site was highlighted in last month's “Surfing Note.”

How does a teacher recognize young mathematicians? What is the teacher's role in developing mathematicians? We asked ourselves and a group of other kindergarten teachers these questions as part of a professional development project titled Implementing Investigations in Mathematics (InMath). The purpose of the project is to support teachers as they implement Investigations in Number, Data and Space, one of the new mathematics curricula funded by the National Science Foundation. The Investigations program focuses on learning through exploration of mathematical ideas and encourages children to invent their own strategies and approaches for solving problems. For more information about Investigations, go to www.terc.edu/investigations.

The Web site at www.mathcats.com offers playful explorations of mathematical ideas that will pique students' interest. When they click on the welcoming cat, students are taken to a menu with a variety of options for students from the primary through middle-school levels. They will find mathematics crafts, an art gallery, writing contests, and an attic full of mathematics definitions and trivia. The most powerful part of the Web site, however, is the interactive applets that help students explore mathematics in a way that develops understanding.

Research In Mathematics Education

With this issue of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education we are pleased to announce that we are launching our electronic version of the journal. In addition to this issue, the March and May issues of the JRME will be accessible on the NCTM Web site, www.nctm.org, at no charge. Beginning with the July 1998 issue, the electronic version will become a fee-based offering with its own URL. A fee structure for subscribing to one or both forms of the journal is still being developed. Watch the Web site for information on subscribing to the electronic version of the journal. Each subscriber to the electronic version will receive a log-in password to access the journal. A password will not be necessary, however, for features of the journal now on-line, including tables of content, article abstracts, the list of accepted manuscripts, and the telegraphic reviews.

We propose methodology for examining classification to identify and make explicit community perspectives that are neglected by traditional journal-subject classification in order to provide a more flexible and customizable classification system. Our method is based on keyword matches, and is applied to the broad transdisciplinary area of cognitive science. In the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) classification, the classification of journals places each journal into a silo based on pre-determined categories deemed appropriate to demonstrate the relatedness of journals. Classification at the journal level does not necessarily represent the perspectives of a community, as a community in both membership and topical scope may transcend the bounds of a single journal classification. Our approach is novel because we examine topics within the transdisciplinary domain of cognitive science, and within that domain, we identify community perspectives on the conceptual contents as found in the titles of publications in the WoS.
