Subject: Re: Bulletin boards

I am not an expert on bulletin boards but I like to have some of each of
these on mine..
 challenge problems, I use old AMC problems but POW's from math forum are
easy to obtain to start and lots more sources are available on the net..

 History notes (famous people or ideas of mathematics as we study them, you
can find lots of short biographical clips on the St Andrews math site.
http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/

roots of math term (a personal hobby which my students indulge),
http://www.geocities.com/poetsoutback/etyindex.html

 jokes (not funny, which my students also indulge) you can find a few links
on the net, and some good books are out there, but just start making a copy
of every good one you find, 99% of them will still be funny ten years from
now.

Good luck, hope some of this helps.
