What is Mathematics all about?

2006
I list 8 aspects of mathematics and give my take on their relative importance. Two of these are the creation of new concepts by abstraction and the clarification of old ones.

The Mathematical Intelligencer, 1989
Why do I think that Z.v.G.II was an epoch-making paper? (1) It was the paradigm for subsequent efforts to classify the possible structures for any mathematical object. Hawkins [15] documents the fact that Killing’s paper was the immediate inspiration for the work of Cartan, Molien, and Maschke on the structure of linearassociative algebras which ...

Are almost all children disadvantaged in mathematics?

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1967
Mrs. Mather, sitting across the desk from her son's fifth-grade teacher, said with a smile, “Well, I never was any good in math, so I can't expect Johnny to do much better.” This is probably an oftenrepeated remark at parent-teacher conferences in schools across the nation. True, Mrs.
