A recent Nature News story highlights efforts to create a free digital library of Mathematics ( Nature 454 , 263; 2008 ). From the Nature report: All the mathematical literature ever published runs to more han 50 million pages, with around 75,000 articles added each year. Over the past decade there have been several attempts to make this prodigious body of work accessible in a single digital archive, but so far none has succeeded. A group of mathematicians intends to change this. They have started small, with a handful of digitization projects in Poland, Russia , Serbia and the Czech Republic . In a few years they hope to unite these repositories with their western European counterparts in an archive to be hosted by the European Union, according to the organizer, Petr Sojka , an informatics scientist at Masaryk University in Brno in the Czech Republic. Eventually this pan-European archive could be expanded globally, he says. To make such an archive easier to search, researchers have found ways to guess the subject of a paper on the basis of the frequency of symbols in it. But there will be many more-practical challenges, such as finding the funds to scan millions of old papers and striking deals with publishers who hold rights to them. It may already be too late to build a single free mathematical archive, according to John Ewing , head of the American Mathematical Society , which maintains a list of more than 1,500 journals whose archi ...

August 30, 2008 Mathematics is the only truly universal language. It describes the world and facilitates the vast majority of our advances in understanding. Mathematics underpins education: the only surefire cure to the world’s ills. Mathematics teaching is as vital as ever both in support of key fields such as life sciences, alternative energy development, or information technology, and also through its unique ability to develop problem solving skills. It should be highly relevant not just for the elite few but for all people in education. Recent research has shown that school students’ mathematical achievement is directly influenced by the students’ beliefs about Mathematics and its teaching, teachers’ beliefs about Mathematics and its teaching, and the ways in which teachers initiate and sustain learning opportunities. An attempt to re-energise Mathematics teaching in Europe is being made in a new European Science Foundation (ESF) project examining a range of factors thought to influence achievement. ..

Published Today : The Last Theorem , a novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Frederik Pohl From the publisher's description : " The Last Theorem is a story of one man’s mathematical obsession, and a celebration of the human spirit and the scientific method. It is also a gripping intellectual thriller.... In 1637, the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat scrawled a note in the margin of a book about an enigmatic theorem: 'I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.' He also neglected to record his proof elsewhere. Thus began a search for the Holy Grail of Mathematics-- a search that didn’t end until 1994, when Andrew Wiles published a 150-page proof. But the proof was burdensome, overlong, and utilized mathematical techniques undreamed of in Fermat’s time, and so it left many critics unsatisfied-- including young Ranjit Subramanian, a Sri Lankan with a special gift for Mathematics and a passion for the famous 'Last Theorem.' When Ranjit writes a three-page proof of the theorem that relies exclusively on knowledge available to Fermat, his achievement is hailed as a work of genius, bringing him fame and fortune...." For a similar third-world fantasy about another famous theorem, see the oeuvre of Ashay Dharwadker . Note the amazing conclusion of Dharwadker's saga (thus far)-- Dharwadker devises a proof of the four-color theorem that leads to... Grand Unification of the Standard Model w ...
