Mathematical Communication This new section of MathDL focuses on writing and speaking about mathematics. It has been created by faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, using materials they assembled to support their communication-intensive mathematics courses. See the article by Susan Ruff on page 6 of the April-May issue of Focus for more information. Also, note that this section contains the Mathematical Communication Blog, administered by Ivars Peterson, MAA Director of Publications and Communications. Other MathDL News Course Communities has course resources for Developmental Math, One-Variable Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Ordinary Differential Equations. Resources for Probability Theory should be posted by the end of the summer. Check out Who's That Mathematician? Images from the Paul R. Halmos Photograph Collection by Janet Beery and Carol Mead in Loci: Convergence. Scroll down to see more information on what's new at MathDL.

Course Communities Course Communities is a developing collection of reviewed resources, organized by courses. The one-variable calculus, multivariable calculus, and differential equations collections are now available, as well as a pseudo-course containing resources for developmental mathematics. Go to Course Communities		Mathematical Communication MathDL Mathematical Communication is a developing collection of resources for having students write and speak about mathematics, whether for the purpose of learning mathematics or of learning to communicate as mathematicians.

MathDL News

The latest in the articles on François-Joseph Servois has appeared in Loci: Convergence, Algebraic Formalism within the Works of Servois and Its Influence on the Development of Linear Operator Theory by Anthony J. Del Latto and Salvatore J. Petrilli, Jr.

See the article by Roberto Cardil, Kepler: The Volume of a Wine Barrel in Loci: Convergence. If you want to see illustrations from Kepler’s Astronomia Nova, go to the article by Frank Swetz, Johannes Kepler’s Astronomia Nova.

Also, check out Convergence’s newly revised on this day (in math history) feature at the Convergence homepage (right-hand side).

Paul Seeburger has a new applet, CalcPlot3D, an Exploration Environment for Multivariable Calculus, featured in Loci: Resources. This dynamic Java applet allows the user to simultaneously graph multiple 3D surfaces, space curves, parametric surfaces, vector fields, contour plots, and more in a freely rotatable 3D plot. Note the clear representation of curves formed by surface intersections.

Until further notice, MAA Reviews and Classroom Capsules and Notes are accessible to everyone without any restriction. Now is a great time to see what those sites have to offer.
