From England comes this online mathematics newsletter, with information specific to the UK system of schooling and for mathematicians everywhere. Feature articles look at fractals and modeling, and a student interview is included. A puzzle page and a career profile are other newsletter highlights. Tom Robinson's physics classes at Kentridge Senior High School in Kent, Washington, have created a series of physics projects that are listed here. Each project examines the physics of a particular activity, event, or phenomenon.
Several projects detail the physics of sports, including basketball, cycling, and hockey.
Other topics include music, telescopes, and toys. This is a great election day site, with information on how polls and statistics influence voter turnout and decision making. Tesselations are, as the site states, repeating patterns of interlocking shapes. Learn about the mathematics behind tesselations and the history and use of these patterns. View images from artist M.C. Escher and others as well.
