One of the questions that always come up in math
classes is the eternal query: "When are we ever going to use this?"
This has prompted me to give, through out the year, projects that they pick
out of a hat. The topics range from interviews, history, art, music, games,
to researching the lives of mathematicians. They write poems and stories
as well. Here are some of the projects that the students have done.
They researched their topic, and handed in a hard copy. Later we introduced
them to Page Mill, and they transformed their research into a Web Page.
Please come and browse our work. 1996-1997, 
1997-1998.
We look forward to your comments.
