We outline a new tool that can promote coherence within and across higher education mathematics courses by focusing on problem-solving: the Mathematical Problem-Solving Pipeline or MPSP. The MPSP can be used for teaching mathematics and…
We give a light introduction to selection principles in topology, a young subfield of infinite-combinatorial topology. Emphasis is put on the modern approach to the problems it deals with. Recent results are described, and open problems are…
The purpose of this bulletin board is to collect problems in higher dimensional complex analysis. We are interested both in basic research questions as well as interactive questions with other fields and sciences. We encourage everybody to…
This essay, originally published in the Sept 1990 Notices of the AMS, discusses problems of our mathematical education system that often stem from widespread misconceptions by well-meaning people of the process of learning mathematics. The…
