Scattered Matherticles

The Volume Comprises AuthorS Mathematical Writings Through The Year 2006. Though Nearly 80 % Of Mathematical Reflections Were Written Since 2003 A Few Modified From Certain Articles Go Back To The 1980S. However The Subjects Are Time Independent. The Kernels Of The Reflections Are Drawn From Everyday Classrooms To Mathematical Conventions Attended. The Style Is Compact Wrapping A Couple Of Strands Around A Central Theme. Some Of The Reflections Like Calculus Defines Civilization Have Been Widely Circulated. A Few Have Been Published In The Focus The Newsletter Of The Mathematical Association Of America. They Are All Fine-Tuned After Getting Feedback From 100-Strong Readers On My E-Mailing List. The Rise Of Bernoullis And Hopitals Has A Predictive Element In It As It Is Very Common Today In The Academe Where Research Over Teaching Carries All The Marbles. A Few Reflections Are Centered On Individuals Including My Colleagues Students And Teachers. Perhaps One Or Two May Be Mathematically X-Rated. There Is A Unique Blend Of Mathematics As A Language With English Of Which The Author Has His Own Stamp. The Book Is An Easy Reading For Its Small Bites. However It Is The Chewing Part Of A Reflection That Uncovers Its Soul.
