Math and Science Education Collaborative Initiative

In the December 2nd edition of the Des Moines Register there is an article on the Iowa Board of Regents' Mathematics and Science Education Collaborative Initiative, a joint effort of the three state universities, to strengthen math and science education in the state. I cannot give you a link to the article but it is on the desmoinesregister.com website right now. Go to that site and click on "opinion" and look for the article by Benjamin Allen (President of UNI).

Another way to find out the information of this very important program would be at this link

When you are on that page you can click on "news release" and "funding proposal".

If possible read the introductory article in the Register first.

I think this is an exciting program that has the potential to make a big difference in math and science education and the recruitment of many new and talented teachers.

Chuck -- can you "revisit" the Rizzuti Theroem you devised back many years ago?

Thank you,
John

John - - I actually have several "Rizzuti Theorems". What you are probably referring to is the first one, which is,
"If it makes sense, it won't happen; if it doesn't make sense it's already taking place."
If that isn't what you were thinking of, let me know.

The theroem about something marked up by 15% is different than that total marked down by 15%.
