June Problems of the Week: Changes and Survey (18 June 2003) The Problems of the Week are finished for this year. We'll be back in September with new options for students and teachers. Our mentoring and problem-solving activities are no longer funded by grants, but we will continue to offer these valuable services through low-cost subscriptions for interested students and teachers. Please take a moment to reply to our survey questions concerning your plans to use the Problems of the Week next year on the following topics:       - Free Problems and Submission       - Student Subscriptions       - Teacher Support Ask Dr. Math: Selected Answers to Common Questions (17 June 2003) To make browsing easier for common questions we have collected their answers, and organized them under topics ranging from algebra to ratio/proportion. Geometry Problem of the Week 2002-2003 Solutions (10 June 2003) All of the Geometry PoWs from this year, excluding the one that is finishing up right now, have been officially archived. This means that we've written longer commentary and that our Gold and Silver lists of names for each problem are included with the posted solution. You can read more about our rubric and the qualifications for getting on these lists at How We Score Your Submissions to the Problems of the Week. May Math Tools Newsletter Archive (20 May 2003) To inform you about all that's going on in our Math Tools digital library project, we offer registrants an electronic newsletter via email the first Saturday of each month. Directions for subscribing as well as links to the first two issues are available. GEOM ART RY (18 May 2003) Professor Martel, City University of New York, College of Staten Island and a resident of Westbeth, addresses the question of whether a painting must have an order within its two-dimensional design. His paper argues that there is in fact a geometrical order to painting, regardless of the particular form of expression. There is a deep structure that unites visual elements in a painting, one need only ask the right visual questions.
