Mathematica in Education, beginning its third year of
publishing, is an interdisciplinary, quarterly journal
devoted to the use of Mathematica in undergraduate and
graduate education. Articles are peer-reviewed and
should interest a wide audience of mathematicians,
scientists, and engineers who use Mathematica in the
classroom.
In each issue of Mathematica in Education we publish
articles from people using Mathematica in their
classrooms in a variety of disciplines. Articles cover
curricular, pegagogical, or philosophical issues related to
the use of CAS in education. A regular feature is
"Excursions in Programming" with an additional column of
student work scheduled to debut in the upcoming issue.
We also print lists of workshops, seminars, conferences,
etc., that might be of interest to Mathematica users in
education. We list email, archive sites, ftp sites, etc.,
that contain Mathematica related materials.
Some recently published articles include:
- "Cinematic Thinking and Mathematica", by Steve
Dunbar and David Fowler of the University of Nebraska.
- "Geomathematics: Teaching Geosciences with
Mathematica", by Jose Rial of the University of North
Carolina.
- "Mathematica During Office Hours", by Kirk Mathews
of the Air Force Institute of Technology.
- "A Deceptive Definite Integral", by Stan Wagon of
Macalester College.
- "Enhanced Animations and Flipbooks", by Carl
Swenson of Seattle University.

Rade of Chalmers Institute of Technology (Sweden).
- "Sums of Cubes of Digits", by Allan Hayes of Leicester

- "Using Mathematica to Find Closed Form Expressions
for Approximations to Sqrt[x]", by Alfred Gray and Ronald
Knill of the University of Maryland and Tulane University.
- "The Layer Model of the Nucleus", by A. Bobeszko
(England).
- "Mathematica as a Writing Tool", by Luz Maria
DeAlba of Drake University.
- "An Interview with Stephen Wolfram", conducted
Winter 92/92.

In addition to the above articles, Mathematica in Education
has reviewed many books and course supplements as well as
MathSource materials.

us a wider market and distribution than is otherwise possible.
It also allows for an expansion in terms of breadth of coverage
and volume of articles published. The editorial policies and
board will remain intact through this transition.
